Mathematics with a Placement Year

Overview If you’re fascinated by the complexity of pure and applied mathematics, and you want to give your career a head start with a placement year, this course is for you. Our novel five-year integrated Master’s course enables you to go into greater depth than our three-year BSc programme, and gives you the exciting opportunity to explore your career options with a placement year. Mathematics is a fundamental language of science, technology, and finance, and our graduates find themselves with many versatile career options.

This course has a flexible format, allowing you to combine modules from pure mathematics, applied mathematics and statistics, together with optional modules from other UEA Schools.  You’ll begin by developing your existing mathematical knowledge, before moving onto more advanced subjects as the course progresses. In later years, our optional modules mean that you can tailor your studies around your interests. You can also take some optional modules from other Schools, like the School of Environmental Sciences, the School of Computing Sciences or Norwich Business School, offering you a breath of choice and opportunity.

You’ll spend your third year on a full-time placement lasting from nine to fourteen months, where you’ll put your theoretical work into professional practice, gaining a real advantage when you graduate.

In your final year, you’ll also take on a substantial research project, supported by an academic supervisor. This will give you experience in independent study and help you develop key career skills such as literature reviewing, critical thinking, report writing and oral presentation.

At UEA, you’ll benefit from internationally recognised, research-led teaching and a high academic-staff-to-student ratio, ensuring that you graduate with a deep understanding of mathematics, as well as excellent career prospects. This degree is perfect for those thinking about a career in research – either in industry or within a university. This is just one of the many challenging and stimulating career paths open to you after you graduate.
