Course Summary

Mathematics at university encourages you to think in an entirely different way. As well as developing a rigorous mindset, a mathematics degree introduces you to new mathematical concepts and delves into areas you won' t have explored at school. By the end of your programme, you will specialise in an area of your particular interest. Learning a new way of approaching and analysing complex problems is a particularly valuable skill, applicable to many exciting career paths. This makes maths graduates extremely employable. **Optional courses** In Years 1 and 2, you will study your mathematics courses as well as optional courses in other subjects. These may be in related areas such as physics or informatics. Or choose from the wide and varied range offered across the University, including philosophy, economics or languages. From Year 3 onwards, you will study only your degree subject. **Flexibility between BSc and MMath** It is possible to change between the BSc and MMath programmes up until the beginning of Year 4, subject to strong academic performance. **Second Year Entry** Applicants who meet the criteria can enter this programme in Year 2 and follow an accelerated programme. On this route, your studies will be focused on mathematics from the beginning, rather than including a range of subjects in your first and second years. On the accelerated programme, we support your Year 2 mathematics courses with extra courses covering the key ideas in algebra, calculus and proofs from Year 1 of the programme.
