Mathematics, MMath

Mathematics at university encourages you to think in an entirely different way. You will develop a rigorous mindset and be introduced to new mathematical concepts not explored at school level.By the end of your programme, you will specialise in an area of your particular interest. This new way of approaching and analysing complex problems is a particularly valuable skill, applicable to many exciting career paths. This makes mathematics graduates extremely employable. Study to masters level This MMath Mathematics programme is a challenging five-year programme that takes you to masters level. It is designed for those who want to study in more depth; or who might want to use advanced mathematics in their careers or in research. You can choose to specialise in a particular aspect of mathematics or study courses from across the broad range offered by the School. You can change between the BSc and MMath programmes up until the beginning of Year 4, subject to strong academic performance. Optional courses In Years 1 and 2, in addition to your mathematics courses, you will study courses in other subjects. These may be in related areas such as physics or informatics, or from the wide and varied range offered across the University, such as philosophy or languages.From Year 3 onwards, you will study only your degree subject. Second year entry Well-prepared applicants can enter this programme in Year 2 and follow an accelerated programme. On this route, you will focus on mathematics from the beginning, rather than study a range of subjects in Year 1 and Year 2. On the accelerated programme, we support your Year 2 mathematics courses with extra courses covering the key ideas in algebra, calculus and proofs from Year 1 of the programme.
