British Mathematical Olympiad

To automatically qualify for the British Mathematical Olympiad 1 (BMO1) and the British Mathematical Olympiad 2 (BMO2), students must achieve the given threshold and be eligible.

To be eligible, students must have (or be eligible for) a British passport and/or have studied in the UK for at least three years before they leave school (including sixth form/college). Students who automatically qualify will be entered into the Olympiad free of charge (You do not need to place orders for automatic qualifiers).

Please note, that if a student does not meet the criteria for automatic qualification, they can still participate in the BMO1 and BMO2 via a discretionary entry purchased by the school.

Check the Competition Handbook for full information on how to host UKMT Competitions.
