Mathematics with Finance (including a Foundation Year)

BSc Mathematics at the University of Chester is a successful course with a very good reputation in the UK mathematics community and has been running for more than 30 years. Our academics have a diverse range of expertise and you will explore both pure and applied mathematics and their computational aspects. This will equip you with highly valued mathematical skills, and develop your creativity and problem-solving ability, which are sought after by leading commercial organisations.

The mathematics degree and learning environment will teach you how to model, solve and analyse real-world problems, using techniques valued by major commercial organisations. This will maximise your future employability.

Staff actively encourage a high level of student involvement in the teaching and learning process. Our small group sizes allow you to have a more personal learning experience where you will get to know your lecturers, allowing you to get help with your studies and have regular mathematical conversations.

Our degree is accredited by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA), a professional body of mathematicians. This course will meet the educational requirements of the Chartered Mathematician designation, awarded by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, when it is followed by subsequent training and experience in employment to obtain equivalent competencies to those specified by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) for taught Master’s degrees.

All mathematics staff are research active and internationally recognised with an extensive network of research collaborations with leading researchers in the UK, Europe and worldwide.

Foundation Year courses have been designed for students who do not have the necessary academic qualifications needed to enter directly into the first year of a degree but who have the ability and commitment to do so. Once the Foundation Year has been completed successfully, you can then go on to complete your degree.
