    Mathematics with a Year in Industry MMath

    About

    Course overview

    Are you curious about how advanced techniques in mathematical modelling are used? Do you want to learn about insights from the latest mathematical research? Perhaps you are keen to apply this learning to a real-life situation with a placement year as part of your degree.

    During this MMath you will cover these topics, learning from dedicated mathematicians. Our degree gives you the chance to learn more about the exciting research our academics are working on, whilst equipping you with the knowledge and skills to carry out your own research.

    You'll develop your skills in problem solving and analysis. The course will also enable you to enhance and develop your transferable skills in project work, group study and presentations, then apply them in the workplace during your year in industry.

    There's a range of specialised modules across all branches of mathematics, based upon our diverse research interests. Our academics are working on problems that span:

    • medicine, biotechnology and food security
    • epidemic modelling
    • fluid mechanics, with applications in industry and biology
    • statistical machine learning
    • algebra and number theory
    • mathematical finance

    Courses for students, by students

    Our co-created curriculum is redefining studying maths. Imagine being part of a vibrant community where students have actively shaped the degree programmes.

    We believe in collaboration, and that's why our students, industry professionals, and alumni joined forces with our dedicated staff to design degrees suitable for the real world. As you would expect there is emphasis on mathematical concepts and techniques, but with a practical application too.

    Year in industry

    The industry placement opportunity enables you to take what you've learned and apply it to real projects in a professional working environment. The placement year can provide you with a source of income and can even lead to a job offer before you've graduated.

    About mathematics at the University of Nottingham

    The first year of this accredited degree gives you a flavour of the different areas of mathematics on offer. You will cover topics spanning applied mathematics, pure mathematics, statistics and probability. You will work individually and in groups to solve real-world problems using advanced theories and techniques. It helps you to decide what you enjoy and if there are areas in which you want to specialise.

    Later topics include:

    • abstract mathematical structures
    • ordinary and partial differential equations
    • probabilistic and statistical models
    • mathematical finance
    • quantum mechanics and relativity

    Putting your maths into practice

    There are lots of opportunities to apply your knowledge in a real-world context, by working together with other students and lecturers to tackle complex problems from industry and academia.

    We work closely with our industry partners and alumni to ensure the course is matched to employer needs so you can enter the workplace confident in the skills and knowledge you've gained.

    Important Information

    This online prospectus has been drafted in advance of the academic year to which it applies. Every effort has been made to ensure that the information is accurate at the time of publishing, but changes (for example to course content) are likely to occur given the interval between publishing and commencement of the course. It is therefore very important to check this website for any updates before you apply for the course where there has been an interval between you reading this website and applying.

    Requirements

    Entry Requirements

    IB score: 34 points overall including HL6 Mathematics Analysis and Approaches. IB requirements:

    Alternatively: Higher Level Certificates 666 or 765 with HL6 Mathematics Analysis and Approaches, or Higher Level Certificates 774 with HL7 Mathematics Analysis and Approaches

    6 in HL Mathematics Analysis and Approaches

    IELTS:

    6.5 overall with no less than 6.0 in each element

    English language requirements

    As well as IELTS (listed above), we also accept other English language qualifications. This includes TOEFL iBT, Pearson PTE, GCSE, IB and O level English. Check our English language policies and equivalencies for further details.

    For presessional English or one-year foundation courses, you must take IELTS for UKVI to meet visa regulations.
