Mathematics with a Year Abroad (MMath)

The five-year MMath programme provides the opportunity to delve more deeply into pure and applied mathematics than is possible on a BSc course and also includes a year of study abroad. The programme is an ideal preparation if you want to go on to research work in mathematics, work for a technological company or simply want to gain a deeper understanding of mathematics, and develop skills which are in demand by a range of prospective employers.

The modules you choose in Years Two and Three will inform the choices available to you later. You will study 120 credits of modules in each year. We have agreements with a number of institutions across Europe, the United States, Canada and Australia, and you will have support to apply for your third year to be spent overseas. In some cases funding is available for travel and living costs.

Our programmes have a large degree of commonality in Year One and if you wish to change to another programme within the School this can be discussed with your personal tutor and may be subject to your academic performance.

Year one

In the first year, you can choose to study only mathematics modules or you may choose up to 20 credits from another discipline.
