About this course
About the course
How can mathematics help us understand the dynamics of infectious diseases? Or how an idea circulates on social media? Or the behaviour of queues? We’ll show you how mathematics solves real-world problems. You’ll work with experts whose research is having an impact – from forecasting local outbreaks of COVID, to predicting floods.
In your first year, you learn how to derive and prove fundamental results in mathematics. You then build on your existing knowledge and discover new aspects of the subject including:
This course is flexible, so you can focus on what fascinates you while gaining a strong foundation in core mathematics. You’ll develop your analytical and modelling skills using industry-standard software such as MATLAB, Python and R. You’ll also have the opportunity to apply for a placement, where you can gain experience working with a company.
Our Department is a close-knit community, and you’ll get to know your lecturers on an individual basis. Their dedication and support will help you to get the most from your degree. Academic advisers support you every step of the way and you’ll have lots of opportunities to engage with potential employers. You’ll also have a dedicated careers advisor.
During integrated Masters year, you’ll develop new mathematical skills and knowledge – particularly relevant if you’re interested in going on to a research career, or into specialised fields including data science, finance or mathematical modelling.
