Course Content
Your first year lays the foundation for the study of mathematics, sharing modules with the Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics and Mathematics and Statistics degrees. You will also develop associated academic and professional skills.
The second year deepens your knowledge of the common mathematical methods core, adding a study of the foundations of mathematics and giving you the opportunity to choose from a selection including Algebra and Graph Theory, Electromagnetism, and Linear Statistical Models.The final year continues the above themes and provides a wider choice of option modules. The final year also offers you the opportunity to undertake a substantial project on a mathematical topic with the support of an individual supervisor. Alternatively, you can study a broader set of topics and projects.
Your timetable will be based on lectures, computer laboratory sessions and example classes. We schedule weekly sessions where your module lecturers are available to provide support, and on top of group work sessions you will have regular personal tutorials. The Mathematics Support Centre is open seven days a week to provide you with one-to-one support. The centre also has specialist staff to provide extra support for dyslexic students.
You will work with staff on real-world problems from industry, commerce and research groups, as you would in professional practice; this means that you develop all of the professional skills at the same time as you learn the technical content of your degree.
