About this course

What you study This course is among the broadest of our Mathematics courses. It gives you the chance study to Master's level and choose from over 50 optional modules across our six specialist streams, allowing you to focus on your favourite areas of mathematics. Some topics in university-level mathematics are a direct continuation of those at A-level, but others will introduce you to new ways of thinking. These topics are concerned with the: ...

Course programme

Modules shown are for the current academic year, and are subject to change depending on your year of entry.

You will follow a pathway of core modules in the first year, before moving on to a combination of core and optional modules in the second year, and a complete choice of optional modules in the third year.

The fourth year, similar to the third, consists of mostly optional modules, in addition to an Advanced Research Project in Mathematics.

Most of the components are lecture modules that are examined primarily by written papers in the summer term. Others are examined wholly by submission of projects.

Year 1

You will complete a practical module on computation running in the first year, currently using specialist software such as Maple and Matlab, and you will be primarily examined by project.

Towards the end of the first year, you will complete an individual poster project, whose subject can be chosen from a range of topics suggested by a series of inspirational lectures. All posters are exhibited together and you will explain your work to circulating staff and students, obtaining credit for both content and exposition.

All modules, computation and the project must normally be passed for progression to the second year.

Core modules
  • Algebra I
  • Analysis I
  • Foundations of Analysis
  • Geometry and Linear Algebra
  • Individual Poster Project
  • Mathematical Computation
  • Mathematical Methods I
  • Mathematical Methods II
  • Mechanics
  • Probability and Statistics I
Year 2

You will choose one optional module in addition to seven core modules.

After examinations in the third term, you will complete a group project involving both written and oral elements.

All modules and the project must normally be passed for progression to the third year.

Core modules
  • Algebra II
  • Complex Analysis
  • Differential Equations
  • Group Project
  • Introduction to Numerical Analysis
  • Multivariable Calculus
  • Probability and Statistics II
  • Real Analysis
Optional modules
  • Metric Spaces and Topology
  • Non-linear waves
  • Statistical Modelling
Year 3

There are over 50 optional modules available in the areas of pure mathematics, mathematical physics, applied mathematics, methodology, numerical analysis and statistics.

All third year modules are optional, and you will choose eight. The list below gives you an idea of the areas you can choose:

  • Algebra
  • Asymptotic Analysis
  • Computational
  • Fluid Dynamics
  • Functional Analysis
  • Galois Theory
  • Geometry of Curves and Surfaces
  • Group Theory
  • Mechanics
  • Methods of Mathematical Physics
  • Number Theory
  • Partial Differential Equations
  • Probability Theory
  • Quantum Mechanics
  • Theory of Complex Systems
Year 4

In the fourth year you will complete an Advanced Research Project in Mathematics, credited to the value of two modules, alongside six optional modules.
