Warwick university actually increased their requirements between 08 and 09. (I'm not sure if there's been any changes since.) To get a place in 08, you needed A's in maths and further maths at A-level, and either two other A grades (NB. most people only take three A-levels) or a B together with a grade 2 in a STEP paper (a more difficult math paper used by Warwick and Cambridge for entrance requirements). The 08 year was unexpectedly crowded, so in 09 the AAAA option was dropped.
They're also making the course itself harder in at least some respects. There's a second year business module which is popular with third year mathematicians because it's easy marks; as of next year, it won't be an option to them.
On the other hand, I've had a lecturer say that when he taught a module to biologists, several of them didn't understand how to work with the relation "V = IR", and he got negative feedback for making the module too math-heavy.
