Mathematics, MMath (Hons)

The MMath in Mathematical Sciences at Durham University is a challenging four-year Master’s-level course ideal for natural problem-solvers pursuing postgraduate study or careers in high-level mathematics or research. The first two years mirror the BSc structure, while the third and fourth introduce advanced modules on sophisticated mathematical methods. Housed in a purpose-built £40 million facility shared with Computer Science—featuring supercomputers and cutting-edge spaces—you'll be taught by research-active mathematicians who integrate world-leading research into the curriculum through practicals, mini-projects, and creative methods, fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, and independent learning.Durham ranks 3rd in the UK (Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2026), 5th (Guardian and Complete University Guides 2026), and top 100 globally (QS 2026). Graduates gain analytical skills for employers like Royal London, Deloitte, CERN, Morgan Stanley, and Ocado, with many advancing to prestigious research at Durham and beyond.
