What you will study: Our BSc and MMath Mathematics degree courses help you build on your existing knowledge and gain a strong foundation across the fundamentals of mathematics. You can choose to study for a BSc or opt for our MMath. The latter is a direct route to a masters qualification, known as an integrated masters, and enables you to delve deeper into advanced mathematics. It also provides a good foundation for further study at postgraduate level. In your first year, you will develop your fundamental mathematical knowledge and problem-solving skills by studying a range of mathematics. You will also learn mathematical programming using Python and have training in professional skills, such as effective teamwork and technical report writing. In your second year you’ll get to choose some of your modules, and in your third year, what you study is entirely your choice. Available modules in third year include Riemannian geometry, mathematical theory of data science, quantum mechanics, and mathematical ecology and epidemiology. Professional recognitionBSc (Hons) - Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) This programme will meet the educational requirements of the Chartered Mathematician designation, awarded by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, when it is followed by subsequent training and experience in employment to obtain equivalent competences to those specified by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) for taught masters degrees. MMath - Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) This programme is accredited to meet the educational requirements of the Chartered Mathematician designation awarded by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications. Foundation yearIf you don’t meet our entry requirements, you might still be able to apply for this degree with a Mathematics and Computer Science Foundation Year. This is an extra year of study to develop your skills and make it easier for you to get started at university. On successful completion of your foundation year, you’ll be ready to progress to the first year of your degree.
