Mathematics graduates are in demand for their highly developed analytical skills and capacity to apply knowledge to problems relevant to industry and commerce.
Developed in collaboration with industry experts, our accredited course blends theory and real-world practice. With a focus on employability, you’ll gain knowledge and skills sought-after by employers in a supportive, small-group environment.
You will learn to understand technical maths, communicate it in a clear way, and develop strong presentation skills. You will apply mathematics and statistics in a wide range of contexts, using sophisticated mathematical and statistical software such as Maple, R and SAS. Alongside this, you will use your knowledge in problem-solving scenarios independently and as part of a team.
If you achieve the required standard in year 2, you can progress to the third year of the Mathematics MMath or Mathematics for Data Science MMath and study towards a masters-level qualification.

Course programme
Year 1
You will study areas including: core mathematical principles and techniques, statistics, modelling and mechanics, and basic operational research.
Modules- Discrete and Continuous Mathematics
This module introduces you to basic mathematical culture and fundamental concepts in discrete and continuous mathematics. You will actively engage with the subject by performing an exploration of topics within context and communicating the results using the language of mathematics.
- Linear Algebra and Calculus
This module introduces abstract concepts of linear algebra and applies them to range of different mathematical problems. Rigorous consideration of elementary examples will allow you to develop your understanding of the general common principles that underlie many real-world applications ranging from solving differential equations to computer graphics.
- Introduction to Statistics
This module introduces you to statistical and probability concepts and their real-world applications. Software packages such as SPSS and Microsoft Excel will be used to provide you with a grounding in industry appropriate statistical software. You will gain the skills required to apply statistics to real data sets together with the appropriate theory behind the applications.
- Modelling and Mechanics
This module will develop your understanding of the modelling process in mathematics, and an appreciation of the success of mechanics in modelling the physical world.
- Introduction to Operational Research
This module provides an introduction to the topic of operational research. The key role of operational research is in the development of models to obtain solutions to practical problems in a variety of contexts. You will analyse classical problems and apply standard operational research techniques.
