入試テスト

Student working through problems at a desk with timed papers

Oxford requires the Test of Mathematics for University Admission (TMUA) for Mathematics and Computer Science in the 2027 entry cycle. TMUA is delivered by UAT-UK through Pearson professional test centres.

The required TMUA papers are Paper 1: Applications of Mathematical Knowledge and Paper 2: Mathematical Reasoning. The test window is 12–16 October 2026, with registration opening on 1 June 2026 at 3pm BST and closing on 28 September 2026 at 6pm BST.

This is a cycle change: from the 2027-entry cycle, with the test taken in October 2026, TMUA replaces MAT for this route. For applicants who have older advice saved, this is the detail to update first.

TMUA is a material part of shortlisting, and Oxford uses course selection criteria and the TMUA result to decide whom to invite for interview. UAT-UK indicates there is no pass/fail score, but Oxford does not publish a score threshold or fixed weighting.

For international applicants, TMUA gives Oxford another way to compare applicants taking different qualifications. Candidates testing in China, Hong Kong or Macau have a restricted 15–16 October window within the October sitting.

We recommend starting with the official TMUA specification, then moving into timed papers and error review. A useful next page is our [TMUA guide](/admissions-tests/tmua/).

Question Types You’ll See

Unseen proof/problem-solving taskAlgorithmic or computational-reasoning problemLogic/combinatorics puzzleSmall-cases-to-generalisation problemPrompted discussion after hints

Oxford interviews for this course are online, problem-based academic discussions in the early to mid-December 2026 interview window. The interview style is a short tutorial / problem-solving format.

The interview tests strong mathematical ability, unfamiliar problem solving, ability to absorb new ideas, independent thinking, aptitude and technical skills, perseverance, enthusiasm and motivation. Typical question types include unseen proof or problem-solving tasks, algorithmic reasoning, logic or combinatorics, small-cases-to-generalisation problems and discussion after hints.

In practice, the best preparation is not memorising speeches. We recommend practising how to say what you are trying, what has failed, what pattern you can see, and how you would test a conjecture. A strong answer can start messily and become clearer, especially if you slow down, state assumptions, and respond to hints as information rather than as criticism.

合否決定のしくみ

The criteria shown are TMUA / admissions test performance, interview performance, prior attainment and predicted grades, personal statement and academic reference, and contextual or extenuating circumstances. Oxford also considers UCAS information and contextual information in the Computer Science-family process.

In reality, the decision is academic and comparative. We recommend preparing as if the test and interview are the two places where you most clearly demonstrate live mathematical and computational reasoning.

Section 07

Personal Statement のコツ

Handwritten notes and a laptop open to a draft document

For this course, the personal statement should show how your interest in mathematics and computer science connects. Avoid a list of technologies; Oxford’s course is built around proof, algorithms, models of computation and programming foundations.

A useful paragraph often starts with one problem, theorem, algorithm or project. Explain what you first thought, what changed your mind, and what you learned about reasoning.

We recommend using one mathematics example and one computing example, then adding one bridge between them. For example, an algorithmic puzzle can become interesting because of its proof of correctness, not just because the code runs.

Do not over-claim. It is better to explain a small project precisely than to describe artificial intelligence, cryptography or quantum computing in slogans.

プロジェクト

  5. 05解決策
  6. 06振り返り

The verified project guidance suggests three broad project ideas: a proof-and-program portfolio, an algorithmic puzzle journal, and a mathematical modelling mini-project. Each works because it gives you something concrete to discuss in a problem-solving interview.

A good project does not need to be large. It should show that you can define a problem, try an approach, inspect mistakes, and connect the mathematical idea to the computational implementation.

Broad project ideas:

  • Prove a theorem or problem result, implement a related algorithm, and discuss complexity and edge cases.
  • Solve BIO, Project Euler or UKMT-style problems and compare brute-force methods with better algorithms.
  • Model a network, recurrence, random process or optimisation problem in code.

その他のサプリキュラム

Useful activities include proof practice, programming fluency, reading beyond the syllabus, admissions-test practice, discussion and explanation, and Oxford Maths/CS outreach.

These are support, not substitute. The core evidence still comes from how well you reason through mathematical and computational problems.

  • Practise full olympiad or university-style proof solutions.:

  • Implement algorithms and data structures, then explain time and space complexity.:

  • Keep notes on one mathematics text and one computer science text.:

  • Use timed TMUA-style problem solving and error review.:

  • Explain solutions aloud to peers or teachers.:

  • Use Oxford Maths/CS outreach talks and problem resources.:

Section 08

コンペティション

Competitions are not required. What they do well is stretch you beyond routine school exercises and give you harder problems to analyse.

  1. British Informatics Olympiad
  • What it can show: Use it to practise turning a mathematical idea into an algorithm and explaining why the algorithm works.
  • How to prepare: Start with past BIO problems, then write short notes on correctness and edge cases.
  1. UK Senior Mathematical Challenge
  • What it can show: Use it to sharpen fast, accurate problem selection across algebra, geometry, number and combinatorics.
  • How to prepare: Review every mistake by topic, not just by score.
  1. British Mathematical Olympiad
  • What it can show: Use it for proof-writing under pressure, especially when a problem resists a standard method.
  • How to prepare: Write full solutions, then compare structure and clarity with published mark schemes.
  1. Oxford University Computing Challenge
  • What it can show: Use it for computational thinking and pattern-spotting problems close to algorithmic reasoning.
  • How to prepare: Practise translating examples into rules before touching code.
  1. STEP past papers (practice)
  • What it can show: Use it as advanced mathematical practice rather than as an Oxford requirement.
  • How to prepare: Choose papers that stretch proof, algebra and problem decomposition, then review slowly.

None are required; one or two done well beats five half-attempted.

Mathematics and Computer Scienceの知識を深める

Start with the Oxford Mathematics and Computer Science course page because it gives the official course identity, requirements and course outline. For the test, use UAT-UK TMUA information as the official test resource.

For subject-building, MIT Mathematics for Computer Science is a useful open-access archival course because it links proof, discrete mathematics and computational thinking. Project Euler is useful if you treat each problem as a reasoning exercise, not a race to code.

For admissions context, the Oxford Department of Computer Science undergraduate admissions statistics help you understand the Computer Science-family process. International applicants should also keep the Oxford international qualifications page close while checking qualification equivalence.

The British Informatics Olympiad is worth using as algorithmic practice if you review why a solution works, not only whether it passes tests.

カレッジ選択と再振り分け

30 colleges offer this subject. 22.2% of applicants submit an open application. 35.8% of places come through the pool.

Around a fifth of applicants make open applications; the 2023-24 Computer Science-family report recorded 22.2% open applications, but this is a CS-family figure rather than an MCS-only statistic. Around a third of successful applicants receive an offer from a college they did not specify; the same CS-family report recorded 35.8% offers by non-applied colleges, again with the CS-family caveat.

Oxford calls this process reallocation. It is used to even out competition, assign open applications to a college or hall with relatively fewer applications, and allow applicants to be interviewed by another college when a college is oversubscribed.

College choice affects tutorials, accommodation and social base, but it is not a tactical shortcut because colleges use a shared admissions framework. We recommend choosing a college you would be happy to live and study in, or making an open application if you do not have a strong preference.

卒業後のキャリア

Discover Uni reports 85% work or study and 95% of employed respondents in highly skilled work, with Information Technology Professionals as the largest occupation category. Employer examples include IBM, Google, Amazon, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs across technology, software, business, research and finance-related outcomes.

Treat the career chart carefully. The occupation outcomes are based on 20 employed respondents 15 months after the course, so they are not employer-sector market shares.

Section 13

特別な事情について

Oxford considers academic achievement in context where possible. Contextual processes can support applicants from disadvantaged or disrupted backgrounds.

For this course, context can include whether Further Mathematics was available at school, because Oxford lists alternative routes where Further Mathematics is unavailable. Mitigating circumstances should be communicated early through UCAS, the reference or the relevant Oxford process.

We recommend making the context specific and evidenced. A clear sentence from a referee about subject availability or disruption is more useful than a vague explanation added late.
