Our Diploma of Higher Education in Mathematics is ideal if you want to study mathematics at university level but do not want to commit to a full BSc Mathematics programme yet. With classes on just two evenings a week, this flexible programme provides an introduction to university-level mathematics that is less intensive than a BSc degree.

You will develop your knowledge and understanding of mathematical and statistical techniques in the natural and social sciences, learn how to follow and construct mathematical arguments and solve problems logically and analytically, increase your ability to present, analyse and interpret data, and improve your quantitative and computing skills. This course will not only expand your general knowledge of mathematics, but also enable you to explore the areas that interest you the most.
