About this course

Imperial’s Department of Mathematics is one of the strongest and most active in the UK. We are home to several Fellows of the Royal Society, many of whom are active in teaching and project support, which is strongly influenced by their research expertise. Our four-year MSci Mathematics with Education course enable you to gain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). This course is ideal if you would like to train to become a mathematics teacher at a secondary school, without the need for further training after your degree....

We welcome students from all over the world and consider all applicants on an individual basis. If your qualifications are not listed here, please see our academic requirements by country page, which gives the minimum entry requirements for a range of international qualifications. Mathematics Admissions Test (MAT) Applicants to all our Mathematics courses (except joint Mathematics and Computer Science courses) must sit the Mathematics Admissions Test (MAT)  as part of their application to Imperial,...
