About

Study with us

learn how to apply mathematics to solve practical problems using specialist software
gain knowledge in programming languages, artificial intelligence, mathematical analysis, discrete mathematics, and web applications development
develop skills to tackle problems in a business setting
opportunity to undertake industry-relevant projects
option to carry out your Honours project in either subject

Why this course?

Mathematics is everywhere: weather forecasting, cash machines, secure websites, electronic games, liquid crystal displays, statistical data analysis.

We use statistics to explore and explain the world in which we live, such as in opinion polls and market research. However, it’s also important for manufacturing and testing many products, in particular showing that modern drugs are safe in treating humans.

Our course focuses on applying mathematics to solving practical problems.

Computers are an essential part of modern business and mathematics must often be formulated before the computer can be of use.

This degree will give you the skills to tackle problems in a business environment.
