Description

Take on this creative, investigative degree course and learn about the subject underpinning our understanding of almost everything.

You may have recently studied maths at school. You may have learnt formulas and how to apply them, how to draw graphs and how to calculate areas and volumes. How did you know that the formulas would work? Who was the first person to use that formula – and how did they know it would work?

Studying Mathematics at degree-level is about much more than just applying what you already know to a series of problems. It is a creative, investigative subject where you will push the boundaries of what is possible to achieve through thinking and then apply it to the world.

There are amazing discoveries to be made everywhere, but no science has the reach and impact of mathematics - touching on art, chemistry, music, design, construction, journalism, finance, healthcare, physics, geography, technology, driving, shopping, in fact… underpinning our understanding of almost everything!

Our Honours course in Mathematics is designed to be intellectually stimulating and will appeal to students who like to tackle real-world challenges through the rigorous and logical methods offered by mathematics. The programme will develop your skills across pure and applied aspects of the subject in algebra and analysis, and combines these with training in probability, advanced statistics, modelling and data analysis.

Our degree will develop your analytical skills as mathematicians alongside other skills that are essential in the modern world and workplace, drawing on expertise from across the University. You will learn skills in communication to help you write and talk about your work, programming to harness the immense power of computers, as well as entrepreneurship and enterprise so that you can apply your new knowledge to different work environments.

In a world that is increasingly reliant on data and modelling, having confidence in researching and applying quantitative concepts can be hugely beneficial. For students with a passion for understanding the world from a mathematical perspective, we can provide you with the skills, experience and support to equip you for a range of future careers.
