Mathematics, Artificial Intelligence, and Real-world Systems (MARS), BSc (Hons)

Mathematics is a foundational discipline powering advancements in science and technology, including cybersecurity, healthcare, environmental science, and engineering. As innovations become integral to daily life, graduate talent is essential to drive progress. A BSc Hons in Mathematics, Artificial Intelligence, and Real-world Systems (MARS) equips you with skills for rewarding careers shaping future technologies, far beyond traditional finance or business roles.This three-year program starts with core mathematical methods—differential equations, vector calculus, probability, statistics, logic, and proofs—delivered through lectures and workshops, alongside scientific computing in R and Python. In Years 2 and 3, you explore linear algebra, multivariate calculus, and mathematical analysis to tackle machine learning, AI, and statistical models, applying them to real-world problems via industry-inspired projects. You'll build transferable skills in data analysis, problem-solving, and quantitative reasoning through collaboration, presentations, and research. Supported by weekly workshops, one-to-one sessions, and MathSoc's Maths Café, you'll join a vibrant community. Lancaster's £13 million Research England funding positions you at the forefront of AI-driven solutions in health, industry, cybersecurity, and the environment, with access to talks, lectures, and interactions with experts and peers.
