If you want to know how to get into Warwick for 2027 entry, the answer is simple to say and hard to do: strong predicted grades, the right subjects, a sharp personal statement and, for some maths-heavy courses, a good TMUA score, all sent through UCAS by 18:00 on 13 January 2027. This guide walks you through each step with figures taken only from the University of Warwick's own pages.
Key takeaways
- Apply through UCAS by 18:00 on 13 January 2027. Warwick's UCAS code is W20.
- Typical 2027 offers range from A*AA (Economics, Law, PPE) to AAA (Computer Science) and AA in Maths and Further Maths plus an A (Mathematics).
- TMUA is required for Computer Science and typically for Mathematics (or STEP instead). It is optional for Economics.
- Warwick Medicine is graduate-entry only: you need a 2:1 degree first.
- Home fees for 2027-28 are £10,050 a year. Overseas fees run from £21,950 to £37,310 a year by fee band.
How do you get into Warwick for 2027 entry?
Quick answer: Choose a course, meet its subject and grade requirements (for example A*AA with A in Maths for Economics), sit the TMUA if your course uses it, write a three-part UCAS personal statement, and submit by 18:00 on 13 January 2027. Warwick says academic performance, including predicted grades, matters most.
Warwick is clear about what it looks at. Its how to apply page lists three things: your academic profile (achieved and predicted grades), your personal statement and your academic reference. It also warns that many people who meet, or even beat, the typical offer do not get a place. So the typical offer is the floor, not the target.
What are Warwick's entry requirements for popular courses?
Every Warwick course page lists a typical offer, a contextual offer and an English language band. Here are five of the most searched courses for 2027 entry.
| Course (UCAS code) | A level typical offer | IB typical offer | Admissions test |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mathematics BSc (G100) | AA in Maths and Further Maths, plus A | 39 with 6,6,6 at HL incl. Maths AA | TMUA (or STEP grade 2) |

Warwick typical A level offers for 2027 entry, by course.
Mathematics asks for AA in Maths and Further Maths plus an A. Computer Science asks for AAA with an A* in Maths. Economics asks for AAA with an A in Maths. PPE and Law both ask for AAA. Mathematics and Computer Science also use the TMUA.
What extra rules hide in the small print?
- Economics and Computer Science only look at your top three A levels. A fourth A level is not considered.
- Computer Science wants a strong GCSE profile, with most grades at 7 or 8-9.
- Law wants GCSE Maths at 4/C and GCSE English Language at 6/B, plus a strong set of GCSEs. Warwick Law does not currently use the LNAT.
- PPE needs at least grade 7/A in GCSE Maths, even for a contextual offer.
- Mathematics is changing its degree for 2027/28. Warwick says to check the course page before you apply and before you accept an offer.
University-wide, Warwick needs at least grade 4/C in GCSE English Language and Maths. It gives no extra credit for a fourth A level and does not take the EPQ into account when making offers (entry requirements page). If your course needs A level Maths, our A level Maths guide explains what the course covers.
Can I study Medicine at Warwick straight from school?
No. Warwick's MB ChB is a four-year graduate-entry programme. You need a 2:1 honours degree (or overseas equivalent) in any subject, and you must sit the UCAT. The intake is 203 graduates each year. For 2027 entry the UCAS deadline was 15 October 2026 at 18:00 (Warwick Medical School applying page). If you are planning ahead, read our UCAT 2027 guide.
Does Warwick need the TMUA?
It depends on the course. Warwick's admissions tests page sets it out:
| Course area | TMUA rule for 2027 entry |
|---|---|
| Computer Science (G400, G403, GN42, G190, G4G3) | Required, unless eligible for a contextual offer |
| Mathematics (G100, G103) | Typically TMUA or STEP, unless contextual-eligible |
| Economics (L100, LLD2, LN12) | Optional but encouraged |
| Maths and Statistics, MORSE, Data Science | Optional; offers may let you meet them with 5.0 in TMUA or grade 2 in STEP |
For Mathematics, Warwick says that in the 2025-entry cycle most offers went to applicants with a TMUA score of 5.0 or above, and some went below 5.0 after a full review. The final threshold is set around April. If you do not take TMUA, an offer will need grade 2 in any STEP paper. Say on your UCAS form if you plan to take STEP instead.
For Economics, the course page says the highest TMUA scorers may be considered for a reduced offer of AAA. Applicants without TMUA are still considered. Warwick also says Economics TMUA rules are under review for 2027 entry, so check the page again before you book.
When is the TMUA for 2027 entry?
- Sitting 1: 12 to 16 October 2026 (now finished).
- Sitting 2: 4 to 8 January 2027. The UAT-UK site lists TMUA on 8 January 2027.
- January registration closes: Monday 21 December 2026.
- Fee: £78 in the UK or Ireland, £133 outside the UK. UK students in financial need can apply for a bursary voucher for the January sitting between 5 October and 14 December 2026.
The test lasts 2 hours 30 minutes. It has two parts, each with 20 multiple-choice questions in 75 minutes. There is no calculator and no penalty for wrong answers. Results come out about four weeks later and go to Warwick automatically.
What are the requirements by country?
Warwick accepts many school systems. These are the figures from its official pages for 2027 entry.
How an AAA-style offer translates across school systems at Warwick.*
For an A*AA offer, Indian CBSE or ISC students need 90% across five Class 12 subjects. US students with a High School Diploma need a 3.3 GPA plus 5, 5, 5 in three AP exams. IB students usually see offers of 38 or 39 points. A level students take three full A levels.
India (CBSE and ISC)
Warwick's India entry requirements page converts A level offers into Class 12 percentages across five subjects:
| A level offer | CBSE/ISC equivalent |
|---|---|
| AAA or above | 92% |
| A*AA | 90% |
| AAA | 85% |
| AAB | 83% |
| ABB | 80% |
A subject needed at A* needs 90%, at A needs 88%, and at B needs 85%. One big rule: Computer Science, Mathematics and Statistics do not accept CBSE Applied Mathematics. State boards are considered case by case.
USA (AP and SAT)
The USA entry requirements page applies to 2027 entry only. With a US High School Diploma:
- AAA: GPA 3.4 out of 4.0 plus 5, 5, 5 in three APs.
- A*AA: GPA 3.3 plus 5, 5, 5 in three APs.
- AAA: GPA 3.2 plus 5, 5, 5 in three APs.
Without the diploma, AAA needs 5s in five APs and A*AA needs 5s in four APs. For Computer Science and Economics you need AP Calculus BC at 5. Mathematics needs AP Calculus BC at 5 plus STEP or TMUA. AP Calculus AB is not accepted for these three. PPE accepts Calculus BC or AB at grade 4.
IB Diploma
IB offers sit between 38 and 39 points for these courses. Mathematics and Computer Science accept only HL Maths: Analysis and Approaches. Economics accepts either AA or AI at HL. Our IB Diploma Programme guide explains how HL subjects and points work.
What English test score does Warwick need?
Each course sits in an English band. Maths and Computer Science are Band A. Economics, PPE and Law are Band C. From the English language requirements page:
| Test | Band A | Band B | Band C |
|---|---|---|---|
| IELTS Academic | 6.0 (5.5 each part) | 6.5 (6.0 each part) | 7.0 (6.5 each part) |
| CBSE/ISC Class 12 English | 75% | 80% | 85% |
| AP English Language | 3 | 3 | 4 |
IELTS must be taken in one sitting, on or after 1 September 2025, and the One Skill Retake is not accepted. US students can also use the SAT at 1340 with no less than 540 in any section.

What is the step-by-step plan from Year 10 (Grade 9)?
The Warwick admission path in four stages.
The path has four stages. First, pick the right subjects and grades. Next, sit TMUA if your course needs it. Then send your UCAS form by 13 January 2027. Last, meet your offer conditions in summer.
- Year 10 / Grade 9: build your GCSE base. Warwick needs at least 4/C in English and Maths. PPE needs 7/A in Maths. Law and Computer Science look for mostly 7s and above.
- Year 11 / Grade 10: choose subjects with care. For Maths, take A level Maths and Further Maths. In India, pick CBSE Mathematics, not Applied Mathematics, for CS, Maths or Statistics. In the US, plan for AP Calculus BC.
- Year 12 / Grade 11: go deeper. Read around your subject, visit an open day, start your personal statement and practise TMUA past papers.
- Year 13 / Grade 12 autumn: book TMUA, finish your three personal statement answers, and brief your referee.
- By 13 January 2027: submit through UCAS.
- Spring and summer 2027: hit your predicted grades, and meet any English test or STEP condition.
What common mistakes stop people getting in?
- Treating the typical offer as enough. Warwick says it often cannot offer to everyone who meets it.
- Wrong maths. CBSE Applied Mathematics, AP Calculus AB or IB Maths AI can rule you out of Maths or CS.
- Missing TMUA for Computer Science. Without it, and without contextual eligibility, you may not be considered.
- Booking TMUA too late. January registration closes on 21 December 2026.
- A fourth A level instead of a top grade. Warwick gives no extra credit for it.
- A copied personal statement. UCAS flags similar statements, and Warwick says these are likely to be rejected.
- Wrong IELTS. One Skill Retake is not accepted.

How Asymptode helps you with getting into Warwick
Warwick's maths-heavy courses ask for top A level, IB, CBSE or AP Maths grades and, for Maths and Computer Science, a strong TMUA. At Asymptode, a qualified mentor teaches your child one-to-one, live online, following the exact route they are on: A level Maths and Further Maths, IB Analysis and Approaches HL, CBSE Mathematics or AP Calculus BC, plus TMUA practice timed for the 4 to 8 January 2027 sitting and the 13 January UCAS deadline.
Between classes, your child gets practice built for them. Each worksheet is made from what their own last attempt showed they had not understood, at their level, never generic. This is Asymptode's AI-assisted practice: the AI writes it to the mentor's brief, and it is sent only after that mentor approves it. The mentor then marks the work, and you see what was understood and what to practise next, so preparation keeps correcting itself towards a Warwick offer. For the personal statement, the mentor helps with planning and reviews drafts.
