Our MMath Mathematics degree provides a balanced study of the most important aspects of maths so that you can achieve a thorough understanding of the fundamentals to help prepare you for a successful career.
Mathematics is an exciting subject which is not only fascinating to study in its own right but also underpins a great variety of endeavours such as science, commerce and industry.
A maths degree is actively sought by employers and opens many doors to subsequent employment and further study. Its study gives students the numerical abilities, logical thinking and analytical skills that are crucial to the success of diverse organisations within commerce, banking and finance, management an industry. Through innovative teaching we equip our students with these skills while also opening up the many facets of this rich and stimulating discipline.
Over the first two years of the MMath Mathematics degree, guided by the expertise of Loughborough's academic staff, you will gain broad coverage of the core aspects of mathematics, including analysis, linear algebra, geometry, probability and statistics, complex variables, mechanics and calculus of variations. In the final two years you will choose modules from a range of options in pure and applied mathematics and statistics, as well as developing your research skills by undertaking a year-long project in the final year.
**What's the difference between MMath and BSc?**
Our BSc courses will equip you with the numerical abilities, logical thinking and analytical skills required to work in a diverse range of roles within a range of organisations. If you have a desire to work as a professional mathematician in industry, commerce, or higher education, or pursue a research career, the MMath course will provide you with the more advanced level of study needed to work towards your aims.
Progress on the MMath course is dependent on a high level of attainment at the end of Years 1 and 2. Transfer to the MMath course from the BSc course may also be possible for students performing sufficiently well.
The MMath and BSc courses in Mathematics are the same over Years 1 and 2.
