Mathematics with a Foundation Year, BSc (Hons)

Mathematics is one of the most timeless and international disciplines in existence. Both ancient and modern, it forms the foundations upon which the modern world is built. Contemporary science and business are both underpinned by mathematics and our degrees reflect a connection with industry.

An Integrated Foundation Year is suitable if you do not have the necessary qualifications to enter the degree at year one. You will be given the chance to develop an understanding which is essential to successfully completing the degree. The full BSc degree covers a broad base of classical and modern mathematics. It allows you to focus on one aspect of the subject, or cover a breadth of material.

Studying maths at Swansea University gives you access to world-leading teaching and cutting edge facilities.

As you progress, your developing mathematical abilities will combine with transferable skills that are vital to securing employment in the wider industry.
