Course Description
Multiply your chances of a rewarding career with mathematics at its base by undertaking an undergraduate degree at Manchester and having a placement year in industry. We offer a highly flexible degree programme, ensuring you obtain a strong all-round mathematical knowledge while at the same time encouraging you to focus on the areas that appeal most.
You will cover core materials in the first three semesters, up to the midpoint of your second year, developing your capacity to learn and apply mathematical ideas. You will understand the significance and power of mathematics and will acquire a thorough knowledge and understanding of the mathematical topics that any employer would expect of a maths graduate.
After your first three semesters, you can choose the areas that interest you most and, from second year onwards, you can even select options from other subject areas. In your final taught year, you can opt to take on a staff-supervised mathematical project.
Between your second and third years is the time to do your year placement. Securing a year placement will involve applying for opportunities that interest you. You will be supported in doing this through guidance on what to consider, how to make effective applications, regular updates on live placement offers, presentations from employers looking for placement students and support from students who have returned from placement to the Department . This is your opportunity to gain invaluable work experience, learn more about the workplace and, ultimately, make informed career choices after graduation
Mathematics has a rich history at Manchester - our £40 million purpose-built Alan Turing Building, the home of mathematics at Manchester, is named after just one of our famous names - and you could be part of its bright future.
