COURSE OVERVIEW

The Graduate Diploma in Mathematics is a conversion course for graduates of any discipline looking to switch to a career or further study in mathematics, without having to sign up to a three-year undergraduate degree.

Our Graduate Diploma in Mathematics is designed to be as flexible as possible; you will have a choice of modules taken from our BSc Mathematics. You will meet with the course director before the start of the academic year and decide on a suitable programme of study, based on your interests and experience.

This is an undergraduate-level qualification that will prepare you for postgraduate study. Graduate Diplomas typically take one to two years to complete and are made up of two, three or four modules at final-year undergraduate degree level (worth 60, 90 or 120 credits).

ASSESSMENT

Assessment is an integral part of your university studies and usually consists of a combination of coursework and examinations, although this will vary from course to course - on some of our courses, assessment is entirely by coursework. The methods of assessment on this course are specified below under 'Methods of assessment on this course'. You will need to allow time to complete coursework and prepare for exams.
