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.
