Course programme
The first two years run in parallel with the three-year BSc programme, before more specialised content is covered in the third and fourth year. In these final two years you will learn advanced principles through a huge range of optional subjects, as well as undertaking an independent project.
Year 1
In the first year you will undertake a set of compulsory modules to consolidate a broad knowledge of mathematical disciplines, primarily algebra and calculus. This is supplemented by classes on the applications of mathematics, problem solving and analysis. The skills you gain from these courses will be revisited throughout the degree and should help inform your future module choices.
Year 2
The modules on offer to you are the same as those available on the BSc programme.
As you progress into your second year, you will continue to learn essential algebraic principles through compulsory modules whilst taking a selection of optional modules to suit your personal interests. The optional modules offered change each year but for instance you may choose to study the theory of special relativity or take a cryptography module to see how number theory studied elsewhere can be applied to the theory of coding. In addition, you will be introduced to mathematical software which will be invaluable in your individual fourth year MMath project.
Year 3
At this stage there are no compulsory modules and you will choose 6 modules from a range of approximately 15 offered. Each year the particular topics on offer vary to mirror the research interests of our lecturers. By this stage we anticipate that you will have found the areas of mathematics which most appeal to you, and you will use this year to focus on these topics, laying the foundations for a successful final-year research project.
Year 4
You will
undertake a substantial individual project during your final year, working under the close supervision of a lecturer whose expertise matches your subject. Each of the lecturers proposes project titles covering a very wide range of current mathematical research, but many of our students come up with their own topics in conjunction with one of our lecturers. Recent topics have ranged from “The Mobius function of Finite Groups” to “The Aerodynamics of Golf Balls” (a topic suggested by the student). The project is assessed through a written report as well as a short oral presentation to lecturers and fellow Masters students on your findings. For the remainder of your final year, you will choose from a range of Master’s-level modules that explore topics such as lie algebra, fluid structure interaction and mathematical biology. The topics on offer typically change every year.
