LSE Mathematics, Statistics and Business acceptance rate and TMUA admissions
For 2025 entry, LSE received 543 applications for Mathematics, Statistics and Business and made 88 offers: 16%. There is no offer calculator for this course yet.
There is no offer calculator for LSE Mathematics, Statistics and Business yet
We build a calculator only when a university has released how the chance of an offer changes with test score. For Mathematics, Statistics and Business, LSE has released:
- average and median TMUA scores of applicants and offer holders for 2024 and 2025 entry, and the scores of 11 applicants for 2023 entry
- no offer rate at any TMUA score, and no count of applicants with a score for 2024 or 2025 entry
- a TMUA that is recommended and not compulsory, and one that few offers followed until 2025: 5 of the 81 offers for 2024 entry went to applicants with a score, against 89 of 91 for 2025
- 2025 scores that run lower than earlier years across LSE's courses, so they cannot be combined with 2023 and 2024
Until LSE releases how offers vary by TMUA score, no one outside LSE can work out a chance of an offer from a TMUA score for this course. What LSE has released is below.

Every figure on this page is LSE's own, from its Planning Division dashboard and its replies to Freedom of Information requests.
LSE's dashboard counts applications to each programme, so the counts here are applications and an offer rate is offers per application. The replies say whether they count applicants or applications, and some count only applicants with a decision.

Did applicants with a TMUA score get the offers?
89 of 91 offers for 2025 entry went to applicants with a TMUA score, against 5 of 81 for 2024 entry.
The UAT-UK course list gives the TMUA as recommended for 2027 entry. For 2023 entry only 11 of 526 applicants had a score, and 2 of the 90 offers went to them.
In LSE's reply for 2024 entry, 5 offers went to applicants with a score and 76 to applicants without one. For 2025 entry it was 89 and 2.
LSE's replies do not say why the share changed, and they give no count of applicants with a score for 2024 or 2025 entry, so the offer rate with and without a score cannot be worked out for those years.
For 2023 entry, 2 of the 11 applicants with a score (18.2%) got an offer, against 88 of 515 without one (17.1%). The group with a score is too small to read much into.

| Entry | Offers with a score | Offers without a score | Share of offers with a score |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 89 | 2 | 97.8% |

| 2023 | 2 | 88 | 2.2% |
What TMUA score do you need for LSE Mathematics, Statistics and Business?
Offer holders with a TMUA score averaged 5.9 for 2025 entry, against 4.6 for applicants with a score, on a scale that runs lower than earlier years.
The test is scored from 1.0 to 9.0. LSE gave the mean and median score of applicants and of offer holders who had one for 2024 and 2025 entry.
For 2025 entry the offer-holder mean was 5.9 and the median 5.7, against an applicant mean of 4.6 and median of 4.7. For 2024 entry the offer-holder mean was 7.0 and the median 7.2, but that rests on the 5 offers made to applicants with a score.
Scores for 2025 entry run lower than earlier years across LSE's courses, so the 2025 row is shown apart and is not comparable with 2023 or 2024. LSE has released no offer rate at any score.
For 2023 entry LSE's reply covers 11 applicants with a score, with scores from 3.2 to 7.4.
For which LSE courses ask for the TMUA, see our LSE TMUA guide.

UK applicants to LSE Mathematics, Statistics and Business
UK applicants had a higher offer rate than all applications combined in each of 2022, 2023 and 2024 entry: 19.2% against 11.2% for 2024.
LSE released the offer rate for UK (Home fee status) applicants with a decision recorded: 26.6% for 2022 entry, 22.4% for 2023 and 19.2% for 2024.
For 2024 entry, 13 of the 29 UK offers were contextual offers, 14 were standard offers and 2 were bespoke.
- UK applicants
- All applications
The two rates come from different counts: the UK figure counts applicants with an offer or a rejection recorded, and the all-applications figure is the dashboard's. We hold no overseas rate for this course.

| Entry | UK applicants | UK offers | UK offer rate | All applications offer rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Do you need Further Maths for LSE Mathematics, Statistics and Business?
Applicants with predicted Further Maths had an offer rate of 25.1% for 2024 entry, against 5.9% for the other applicants.
Applicants with predicted Further Maths had the higher offer rate in each of 2022, 2023 and 2024 entry: 19.3% against 14.5%, then 32.7% against 9.8%, then 25.1% against 5.9%.
They were 28.5% of applicants for 2024 entry and 63.0% of the offers.
These figures do not show that Further Maths caused an offer: the data cannot show what caused the difference. LSE counted an applicant as having predicted Further Maths if those words appeared in the predicted grades they typed, so applicants who listed no grades, such as some IB applicants, are in the other group.
Show the table
| Entry | Applicants | Predicted Further Maths | Offer rate: Further Maths | Offer rate: others |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 712 | 203 (28.5%) | 25.1% (51 of 203) | 5.9% (30 of 509) |
| 2023 | 512 | 156 (30.5%) | 32.7% (51 of 156) | 9.8% (35 of 356) |
| 2022 | 590 | 161 (27.3%) | 19.3% (31 of 161) | 14.5% (62 of 429) |
Predicted A* grades
Applicants predicted three or more A*s had an offer rate of 35.1% for 2025 entry (34 of 97), against fewer than 5 offers from 20 applicants predicted two A*s and an A.
LSE released applicants and offers by the number of A*s in their predicted grades for 2021 to 2025 entry. Applicants predicted three or more A*s had an offer rate between 20.8% and 35.2% in every year.
Offers to applicants in the two lower profiles shown were fewer than 5 in some years, so LSE did not give them.
The three profiles cover 125 of the 543 applications for 2025 entry, and LSE did not say how the rest are counted, so this table is a partial picture.

| Entry | 3 A* or more | 2 A* and an A | 1 A* and AA |

Entry requirements
LSE asks for A*AA at A-level for 2027 entry, and recommends the TMUA.
LSE asks for A*AA at A-level for 2027 entry, with an A* in Mathematics. IB applicants need 39 points, 766 at Higher Level with 7 in Mathematics. LSE's contextual offer is A*AB with an A* in Mathematics, or 38 IB points with the same Higher Level conditions.
The TMUA is recommended for this course and not compulsory: LSE's course page says a good performance may make an application more competitive.
LSE's course page gives 543 applications and an intake of 57 for 2025 entry, about 10 applications for each place. It describes no interview.

Questions about LSE Mathematics, Statistics and Business admissions
What is the acceptance rate for LSE Mathematics, Statistics and Business?
For 2025 entry, 16.2% of applications got an offer (88 of 543). For 2024 entry it was 11.2% (81 of 721), the lowest of the eight years.
Is the TMUA compulsory for LSE Mathematics, Statistics and Business?
No. The UAT-UK course list gives it as recommended for 2027 entry. Even so, 89 of the 91 offers in LSE's reply for 2025 entry went to applicants with a score, against 5 of 81 for 2024.
What TMUA score do I need for LSE Mathematics, Statistics and Business?
LSE has released no minimum and no offer rate by score. Offer holders with a score for 2025 entry averaged 5.9, against 4.6 for applicants with a score, but scores for 2025 run lower than earlier years.
Why is there no offer calculator for LSE Mathematics, Statistics and Business?
A calculator needs offer rates at each score. LSE has released average and median scores of applicants and offer holders for two years, with no count of applicants with a score for 2024 or 2025 and no offers by score.
Do I need Further Maths for LSE Mathematics, Statistics and Business?
The figures we hold do not give a rule. Applicants with predicted Further Maths had the higher offer rate in 2022, 2023 and 2024 entry, for example 25.1% against 5.9% for 2024, but the data cannot show that Further Maths caused the difference.
Does LSE interview for Mathematics, Statistics and Business?
LSE's course page describes no interview. It says it considers your UCAS application: academic achievement, subjects, personal statement, reference and educational circumstances, plus the TMUA where you send one.
