Many of the topics taught are directly linked to the research that we do, so you will be learning at the cutting edge of applied mathematics.
We are a relatively small division and operate with an excellent staff/student ratio. One advantage of this is that we can get to know each student personally, and so can offer a friendly and supportive learning experience. Staff are ready and willing to help at all levels, and in addition, our Student-Staff Committee meets regularly to discuss matters of importance to our students.
We also offer students the chance to choose a selection of modules from other subject areas such as economics and finance.

About this course
The focus of this course is using mathematics to solve real world problems, such as in finance, energy, engineering or scientific research. The combination of the applied nature of the mathematics that is taught, with the masters level of this course, makes this qualification highly attractive to employers.
This course suits graduates with a degree in mathematics or in a subject with strong mathematical components such as physics, who wish to deepen their mathematical knowledge and related skills.
Students should have a 2.2 Honours BSc or above (or a suitable qualification) in a relevant mathematical discipline.

You will learn by traditional methods such as lectures, tutorials, and workshops as well as via computer assisted learning. We teach the use of professional mathematical software packages in order to allow you to explore mathematics far beyond the limits of traditional teaching.
Individual reading and study takes a particularly important role in the Summer project. For the project, you will be guided to prepare your research project plan and to develop skills and competence in research including project management, critical thinking and problem solving, project reporting and presentation.
How you will be assessedAssessment is via a mix of open book continual assessment and closed book examinations, with a substantial project completed over the Summer.
