Program details
Overview
This four-year programme extends mathematics to Master's level and is suited to students considering postgraduate study or careers involving high-level mathematical skills. The first two years mirror the BSc structure, and from the third year students study a wider range of advanced modules. Students also gain experience of research-level work and of sustained independent study.
Teaching is delivered in a purpose-designed department by mathematicians active in research. Assessment combines examinations, coursework and a research-level project, with final-year modules that explore subtler and more abstract reasoning. Students are encouraged to pursue independent study as the course advances.
Graduates progress to doctoral study, research careers and roles that demand advanced quantitative reasoning in finance, industry and academia. Those who complete the course often combine their mathematical training with research or computing roles.
