**Foundation courses**
A foundation year can develop your skills and make it easier to get started at university. It is an extra year of study at the start of your course that leads in to a full degree programme. It’s a great option if:
You don’t have the grades for a full degree course
You have non-traditional qualifications or experience
You’re starting university after some time away from education
You’re looking for more support during the transition into university study.
**Life as a foundation year student**
During a foundation year you’ll learn about your chosen subject, develop your study skills and get used to university life. On successful completion of your foundation year, you’ll be ready to progress to the first year of your degree course.
As a foundation year student, you’ll be a full student of the University and part of our community. You’ll have access to all our campus facilities and support.
**Why choose this course**
Mathematics forms the basis of many aspects of modern life and has applications across the sciences, technology, finance and management.
By studying mathematics, you’ll develop transferable skills such as creative problem-solving and logical reasoning, which are in great demand in a wide range of career sectors.
Joining Surrey’s Department of Mathematics puts you at the heart of a vibrant and friendly community, where you’ll benefit from a personal tutor, small group teaching and a lively, research-active learning environment.
**What you will study**
Our BSc and MMath Mathematics courses will help you build on your existing knowledge and gain a strong foundation across the fundamentals of mathematics.
In your third year, you’ll be able to choose from a broad range of optional modules in topics such as Riemannian geometry, mathematical theory of data science, quantum mechanics, and mathematical ecology and epidemiology.
**Customise your course**
There are plenty of opportunities to expand your learning experience during your course. You may decide to:
Take a Professional Training placement year in industry
Spend time studying at a university overseas
Get involved in research through a summer internship within the Department of Mathematics.
You can choose to study for a BSc or opt for our MMath (Master of Mathematics) degree, which is a direct route to a masters qualification and enables you to delve deeper into advanced mathematics.
Depending on your progress, you may be able to switch from a BSc to an MMath degree during your studies.
