Course Description
Mathematics at university encourages you to think in an entirely different way.
You will develop a rigorous mindset and be introduced to new mathematical concepts not explored at school level.
This programme provides a broad understanding of mathematics before specialising in statistics.
This new way of approaching and analysing complex problems is a particularly valuable skill, applicable to many exciting career paths. A knowledge of statistics is valued by employers, so this programme gives you an excellent range of career options.
Outside subjects
In addition to your Year 1 and 2 mathematics courses, you will study courses in other subjects. These may be in related areas such as physics or informatics, or from the wide and varied range offered across the University, such as philosophy or languages.
From Year 3 onwards, you will only study mathematics and statistics courses.
Second year entry
This degree programme offers the option to start your studies in Year 2 and study an accelerated degree programme. This option shortens the length of your degree by a year, meaning the BSc degree takes three years instead of four.
On this route, you will focus on mathematics from the beginning, rather than studying a broader range of subjects in Years 1 and 2.
