Mathematics and Computing with Integrated Foundation Year

Teaching and Assessment Teaching Up-to-date teaching Mathematics is an active and dynamic research centre. Our academics' work is frequently supported by external grants and contracts with leading industry and government establishments. As a result lecturers are often working at the frontiers of their subject and in active contact with modern users of Mathematics. This in turn helps to ensure that our undergraduate degrees are truly up-to-date. A broad spectrum of thinking We can offer a wide range of expertise in a variety of subjects. Many of our lecturers are widely published and highly recognised in their fields. How will I be taught? We use a range of approaches to help you engage effectively with the subject both through your tutors and working with fellow students: Lectures These offer a broad overview of key concepts and ideas – a useful framework from which you can pursue more in-depth study. Tutorials Smaller tutorial groups enable you to work on mathematics-related problems with guidance from a staff member. Computer workshops These replace some tutorials in certain modules including numerical analysis, statistics and operations research. Assessment The ratio of exams to coursework is approximately 60:40. Coursework consists of mainly of short tests and project work.
