BSc (Hons) Mathematics Course,with foundation year

We start with a core programme covering the foundations of mathematics and its applications. As the course progresses you can tailor your modules by specialising in areas that interest you.

You'll learn in small groups as part of our close-knit mathematical community under renowned researchers whose specialisms include fluid dynamics, mathematical biology, statistics, data science and industrial applications of mathematics. You’ll also have regular tutorials throughout your degree, where you can raise questions and explore concepts in discussion with your peers. In short, this is a maths degree with a personal feel.

This course is accredited by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA), which puts you on the pathway towards Chartered Mathematician status. But you’ll gain the foundation for any career requiring a strong mathematical background, such as in science and technology, banking and finance, data science, government, and more.

This research-informed degree also provides an ideal foundation for progression into further study, such as a Masters or PhD, in mathematics, data science or even an unrelated subject. One way we ensure this is by providing the opportunity to undertake a BSc research project. In your final year, you will explore a mathematical topic of your choice and develop written, presentation and independent research skills. Our BSc students have even had papers published in peer-reviewed journals based on their BSc project work.
