Mathematics, MSci (Hons)

This four-year MSci degree in Mathematics focuses on pure mathematics with real-world applications, offering flexibility in module choices as students advance. It explores topics like calculus, probability, linear algebra, and mathematical physics, equipping graduates for careers in finance, technology, and beyond. Students gain skills in applying abstract methods to practical problems, with options for paid work placements at companies such as Barclays or Microsoft, and career development modules to enhance employability. Research projects allow exploration of diverse areas, from medical imaging to patterns in nature.The program includes core modules in the first two years, such as Functions, Vectors and Calculus, and electives in later years like Differential Equations and Machine Learning. Assessment combines examinations, coursework, and projects, with marks weighted 1:3:6:6 across the years. Feedback is typically provided within three weeks, supporting student progress.
