For mathematics graduates. Programme consists of a wide range of modules and a project. The majority of the eight modules are taken from blocks of pure mathematics and theoretical physics with other options available. Leads to PhD study or careers in investment banks, industrial research.

KEY BENEFITS * Located in the heart of London.
* An intensive course covering a wide range of basic and advanced topics.
* Intimate class environment with small class sizes (typically fewer than twenty students on a module) allowing good student-lecturer interactions.
* A full twelve-month course with a three-month supervised summer project to give a real introduction to research.

PURPOSEFor Mathematics graduates. The programme ideally prepares students for active research.

DESCRIPTIONOur programme consists of a wide range of courses and a project. The coursework is organised on a module system. A supervisor assists each student in choosing modules, taking a majority from the two main blocks of Pure Mathematics and Theoretical Physics. You may also choose certain courses from the Financial Mathematics programme.
Pure Mathematics:

* Metric & Banach Spaces
* Complex Analysis
* Fourier Analysis
* Non-linear Analysis (new in 2013)
* Operator Theory
* Galois Theory
* Lie Groups & Lie Algebras
* Algebraic Number Theory
* Algebraic Geometry
* Algebraic Curves (tbc)
* Manifolds

Theoretical Physics:

* Quantum Mechanics II
* Quantum Field Theory
* String Theory & Branes
* Supersymmetry
* Advanced Quantum Field Theory
* Spacetime geometry and General Relativity
* Advanced General Relativity
* Low-dimensional Quantum Field Theory

You may also take up to two modules from a wide range of undergraduate topics, eg Real Analysis II; Complex Analysis; Galois Theory; Topology; Special Relativity & Electromagnetism; Linear Control Theory.
You may also take courses at other London colleges subject to approval.

FORMAT AND ASSESSMENT Eight modules assessed by written examinations; one individual project.

2:1 minimum first degree, or equivalent, with mathematics as a main field of study. A 2:2 may be acceptable. Those with a third class degree or other qualification may be admitted after passing the Graduate Diploma in Mathematics with a distinction or merit. English Language Requirements CAE score: (read more) Cambridge English: Advanced (CAE) is part of the Cambridge English suite and is targeted at a high level (IETLS 6.5-8.0). It is an international English language exam set at the right level for academic and professional success. Developed by Cambridge English Language Assessment - part of the University of Cambridge - it helps you stand out from the crowd as a high achiever. 80 (Grade A)
