About this course

Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, a mathematics degree focused on analytical, statistical, and computational methods. Core topics include programming, signal processing, data analysis, statistics, mathematical modelling, project management, environmental analysis, and artificial intelligence & machine learning. Students complete a compulsory final-year project on a chosen mathematical topic. The first year establishes core knowledge through modules such as Calculus I, Calculus II, Computational Mathematics, and Linear Algebra I. The second year introduces foundational studies like Analysis and Partial Differential Equations, alongside optional subjects including Algorithms, Geometry and Topology, and Statistical Inference. In the final year, students undertake the Mathematics Project and can select from various advanced options such as Machine Learning, Mathematical Finance, Advanced Fluid Dynamics, and Project Management.
