MMath Mathematics

Are you curious about how advanced techniques in mathematical modelling are used? Do you want to learn about insights from the latest mathematical research?

During this MMath you will cover these topics, learning from dedicated mathematicians. Our degree gives you the chance to learn more about the exciting research our academics are working on, whilst giving you the knowledge and skills to carry out your own research. You'll develop your skills in problem solving and analysis. At the same time, the course will enable you to enhance and develop your transferable skills in project work, group study and presentations.

There's a wide range of specialised modules across all branches of mathematics, based on our diverse research interests. Our academics are working on problems that span:

On this MMath, you'll have the chance to put your knowledge into practice during the final-year dissertation. This gives you a taster of what it is like to conduct your own research project, under expert supervision.

The first year of this accredited degree gives you a flavour of the different areas of mathematics on offer. You will cover topics spanning applied mathematics, pure mathematics, statistics and probability. You will work individually and in groups to solve real-world problems using advanced theories and techniques.

It helps you to decide what you enjoy and if there are areas in which you want to specialise.

There are lots of opportunities to apply your knowledge in a real-world context, by working together with other students and lecturers to tackle complex problems from industry and academia.

We work closely with our industry partners and alumni to ensure the course is matched to employer needs so you can enter the workplace confident in the skills and knowledge you've gained.

Many of our graduates use the mathematical principles and techniques they have developed for jobs in:

Others use their transferable skills of analytical thinking and problem-solving in non-scientific roles such as management and consultancy. The course provides a good foundation for further study such as a PhD.
