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.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. Areas of study This programme covers a broad range of mathematical topics, from abstract methods to numerical computation; it also emphasises their application to real-world problems. The programme's modular structure allows you to specialise in areas of particular interest, such as mathematical biology or scientific computing. Optional courses In addition to your mathematics courses in Years 1 and 2, 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 your degree subject only. Flexibility between BSc and MMath You can change between the BSc and MMath Applied Mathematics programmes up until the beginning of Year 4, subject to strong academic performance. 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 studying 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.
