Mathematics

Mathematics enables us to reason logically, to understand structure and to formulate scientific principles, whether from the physical, life or social sciences.

Choose this course to gain specialist knowledge in pure mathematics, applied mathematics and/or statistics.

Tailor to your interests At the start of the course, you’ll gain a broad education in pure and applied mathematics, including programming and statistics. You’ll have the freedom to study a broader mathematical pathway or specialise in your favourite subject areas, enhancing your analytical thinking and appreciation of the beauty of mathematics.

All of our courses are flexible and allow for a wide choice of units after year one. You may switch between Mathematics and Mathematics and Statistics at any stage during year one, while switches to or from Mathematics, Statistics and Data Science can be done at the end of year one if you obtain a sufficiently high mark.

Master's in mathematics The MMath gives you the same core knowledge as the bachelor’s but with a greater exposure to research. It includes master's level units and a final year project, preparing you for postgraduate study or a career in academic or industrial research. Examples of recent projects include Tropical Geometry, Fourier Analysis and Hardy Spaces, and Analysing Online Conversations Around COVID-19.
