Mathematics, MA (Hons)

University mathematics fosters a rigorous mindset and introduces advanced concepts beyond secondary education. By the programme's end, students specialise in their chosen area of interest, developing skills in problem analysis that enhance employability across diverse careers. The MA Mathematics programme integrates mathematics with a selected arts or humanities subject from the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences. In Years 1 and 2, students dedicate up to half their time to this subject, with the remainder focused on mathematics; from Year 3, the focus shifts exclusively to mathematics, allowing specialisation in various areas.While similar to the BSc Mathematics programme, the MA requires the outside subject to be from the specified college and consistent across Years 1 and 2. For greater flexibility in subject selection, the BSc may be preferable. Switching between BSc and MA is straightforward if appropriate subjects are taken, and both programmes align from Year 3. Note that this is an undergraduate degree; for master's options, consider the MMath or an MSc following completion.
