Year 1 introduces a variety of topics useful for the application of mathematics. The foundations are laid for later work in themes developing calculus based techniques with applications modelling the real world and also practical data analysis methodologies. The power of computational methods is introduced, enabling the investigation of more realistic problems, through the use of industry-standard software (such as SAS, Maple and Matlab).

You will have the opportunity to work together with students from other disciplines on case - studies developing team working and professional skills and awareness of the wider professional world. Year 2, extends the themes introduced in Year 1, refining the integration of mathematical and professional skills to model real-world problems and develop and present solutions. You will continue to build a portfolio of products, showcasing your growing knowledge and skills.

Once Year 2 is successfully completed, you will have the opportunity to take a professional placement year to develop your skills in a real work setting.

Year 3 completes the calculus based modelling journey with the study of partial differential equations and nonlinear systems (areas of mathematics that are applicable to many real-world problems). Everyone undertakes a major project (independent study) as the culmination of the theme integrating mathematical and professional skills in preparation for future employment. In addition,
you may select specialist option modules from different areas of mathematics and statistics, such as modelling financial investments, optimisation or modern applications in the analysis of ‘Big Data'.

About this course

This course offers a broad mathematics programme, which also includes computational and statistical support.
The programme teaches you the techniques needed to get your career off to a flying start.
It offers a lot of flexibility, letting you tailor your degree to your interests and career goals – you may transfer to one of a range of mathematics related courses at the end of the first year.
It places an emphasis on the application of maths and statistics in the workplace.
Teaching quality has been rated as 'excellent' (23/24) by the Quality Assurance Agency. Kingston was ranked in the top 20 for mathematics in the 2012 Guardian University League Table.
Supportive staff help you reach your full potential.
Facilities include:
wireless and wired computer networks;
a dedicated maths support centre within the faculty academic skills centre;
a good range of specialist software and hardware tools to support education and research; and
professional industry relevant software.

In the past our graduates have found employment in a wide range of areas including IT, pharmaceuticals, retail management, insurance, banking, accountancy, defence industry, the National Health Service, energy industry, transport, local and national government service as well as research, further study and teaching. These opportunities remain open but, with regard to specific areas of employment, some of the content of the programme may be particularly appropriate for the finance sector (currently the largest employment sector for mathematics graduates) or the data analysis field (the area that is expanding most rapidly at present) - ensuring that there should be strong demand for graduates from the programme.

A-levels or equivalent: Mathematics required (grade C or above).
General Studies not accepted.
GCSE: Candidates are normally required to hold five GCSE subjects grades A*–C (or comparable numeric score under the newly reformed GCSE grading): including English Language and Mathematics.

This course is accredited for 2018 entry by the Institute of Mathematics & its Applications (IMA) and therefore meets the educational requirements of the Chartered Mathematician designation when it is followed by subsequent training and experience in employment to obtain equivalent competences to those specified by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) for a taught masters degree.
