Mathematics with a Year Abroad MMath

University of East Anglia

Overview

In addition to higher-level study in mathematics, our Master of Mathematics with a Year Abroad programme gives you the chance to experience a different lifestyle and culture. You will spend your third year abroad studying at one of our partner universities across North America, Australia or Europe before returning to UEA to finish your studies.  

As well as enriching your mathematical knowledge, your time abroad is a great way to build contacts and to strengthen your resilience and adaptability, as well as being an unforgettable life-changing experience. 

About This Course

Our four-year Master of Mathematics degree has a flexible format that allows you to combine modules from pure and applied mathematics and statistics, together with optional modules from other UEA schools.

You’ll begin your degree by developing your existing mathematical knowledge, before moving onto more advanced subjects as the course progresses. In later years, our optional modules mean you can tailor your studies around your particular interests. In the second year, you can even take optional modules from other Schools, like the School of Environmental Sciences, the School of Computing Sciences or the Norwich Business school. Your third year will be spent abroad, choosing modules from those on offer at the partner university.

Returning to UEA for your final year, you’ll choose to study a number of more specialised and in-depth mathematics modules, taught by leading experts in their fields. You’ll also take on a substantial individual research project. This will give you experience in independent study and help improve key career skills such as literature reviewing, critical thinking, report writing and oral presentation. So you will not only graduate with a deep understanding of mathematics, but also with great career prospects. If you complete your studies with distinction, you may want to join our group of postgraduate students, as our integrated Master’s programme is excellent preparation for a career in research – either in industry or within a university.
