Mathematics plays a hugely important role in the modern world, from enabling technological and scientific innovation to predicting shopping habits. It underpins key areas in the sciences including data analysis, computer science and statistics and opens up a range of careers and areas for further study.
At Kent, you’re more than your grades and, whatever your age or educational background, our foundation years can help you to gain the skills you need to study at university.

* as a foundation-year student, you are a full member of the University and can take part in all student activities
* you are taught by internationally renowned mathematicians and statisticians whose varied interests lead to a broad range of optional modules
* in your first year, to help ensure the move from A level to degree-level study goes smoothly, you attend small group tutorials where you work closely with other students, practising the new mathematics you are learning
* you have access to a range of professional mathematical and statistical software including Maple, MATLAB and Minitab
