Mathematics BSc Hons

Mathematics forms the foundations of all science and technology and as such is an extensive and rigorous discipline. Our program reflects this and offers a comprehensive, detailed study through excellent teaching and development opportunities.

Maths is difficult to concisely define, but at its core, it is the study of change, patterns, quantities, structures, and space. This engaging program, and our reputation for excellence in research, means that you will receive high-quality teaching delivered by academics who are leaders in their field. Throughout the three years, you will develop a range of discipline-specific skills and gain specialist knowledge that will prepare you for your chosen career.

During your first year, you will build on your previous knowledge and understanding of mathematical methods and concepts. Modules cover a wide range of topics from calculus, probability, and statistics to logic, proofs, and theorems. As well as developing your technical knowledge and mathematical skills, you will also enhance your data analysis, problem-solving and quantitative reasoning skills.

In the second year, you will further develop your knowledge in analysis, algebra, probability, and statistics. You will also be introduced to Computational Mathematics, exploring the theory and application of computation and numerical problem-solving methods. While studying these topics, you will complete our Project Skills module, which provides you with the chance to enhance your research and employment skills through an individual and group project. Additionally, you will gain experience in scientific writing, and you will practice using statistical software such as R and LaTeX.

Your final year offers a wide range of specialist optional modules, allowing you to develop and drive the program to suit your interests and guide you to a specific career pathway. You will have the chance to apply the skills and knowledge you have gained in the first two years in advanced mathematical modules such as Combinatorics, Number Theory, Hilbert Space and Metric Spaces.
