Program Overview

Mathematics has shaped societies for thousands of years – from the Ancient Babylonians to the present day. Continue the tradition of unpicking complex mathematical problems that could help monitor the spread of disease, predict the route of a cloud of ash from a volcano and forecast climate change.

Study core mathematical topics including analysis, algebra, calculus, statistics, operational research and modelling. Then shape your degree to your ambitions and interests in following years, by specialising in advanced principles such as financial modelling, non-linear dynamics and cosmology.

When you graduate, you’ll be in high demand, especially in the expanding technology, data and machine learning industries.

BSc or MMath?

You can study this course as a 3-year Bachelor's degree (BSc) or a 4-year integrated Master's degree (MMath). The MMath allows you to achieve a Master’s level degree with just one extra year of undergraduate study, further enhancing your career prospects.

Course highlights

• Delve into topics including deterministic chaos, partial differential equations, health research and abstract algebra.
• Learn from expert researchers such as Dr. Michael Gnacik, who provided data visualisation for the University's Covid testing programme as member of the Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation's Covid Response Team.
• Develop coding skills in programming languages including Python.
• Learn to use industry-standard mathematical, statistical and operational research software.
• Apply your skills on optional work placements in the community, such as assisting math teachers in local schools.
• Investigate theories alongside the University's mathematicians — 95% of our research in Mathematics was rated as world-leading or internationally excellent and we're ranked top among modern UK universities for overall performance and research environment.
