Yup true. I actually came here at 17 due to a skipping a grade. To be fair though, most of the 17 year olds upon starting that I know turned 18 by at least Lent term so they were already relatively old for their year (though that could be just by chance). But I have also never met a 16 year old so they might ask you to take one gap year to age up a bit. You never know, apply and see what they say!

Are there any age limits on courses? I skipped two years so I'll finish high school aged 16 and wanted to apply for Mathematics

Mmm no not really an issue. You might have some social issues though (drinking age is 18 here and that’s a big part of the culture/what people do) but shouldn’t be an issue in terms of admission. They do occasionally make younger people defer a year though, so be aware of that possibility.
