Historic test lookup

Transition hub

MAT UK admissions guide

Oxford moved its named 2027-entry mathematical courses from MAT to TMUA, and this lookup records that scoped change against its official Oxford source. The row points to TMUA only for that Oxford scope, never as a universal replacement.

Registration and sitting dates for 2027 entry transition record

Format and modules

What the official sources listed on this page establish about delivery, timing, and papers or modules.

Delivery

Timing
No current sitting

Papers or modules

  • No current modules are published on this transition hub

Scope of this format record

  • Use the scoped institution and course record to identify the current test; do not apply the transition to other institutions.

Preparation order

Verify the booking decision first. Preparation advice cannot repair a test choice made for the wrong course, entry year, or module combination.

  1. 1Check that your course sits in the Oxford 2027-entry mathematics, computer science, and philosophy group named in the row below; the change recorded here covers that group only.
  2. 2Prepare for TMUA rather than a MAT sitting once that row matches your course and entry year.
  3. 3Confirm the requirement on the live Oxford course page before booking, because the row here is a dated snapshot.

The test these rows now name

Transition history

  • mat → tmua

    Oxford's named 2027-entry course group moved from MAT to TMUA. This is not a universal MAT-to-TMUA rule.

Scope of this record

This is a scoped transition record.

A change recorded for one institution, course group, and entry year is not a universal test replacement.

Official sources

Each link goes to the official test owner, institution, or official report. A test-owner page does not establish a university course requirement; that requires an institution source.
