About this course
BSc (Hons) Mathematics, a mathematics degree centred on analytical theory, abstract structures, and practical quantitative applications. Core topics include Programming, Data Analysis, Statistics, and Mathematical Modelling. This course is accredited by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, fulfilling part of the educational requirement for chartered status. The first year covers core foundations through modules such as Foundations and Calculus, Introduction to Probability and Statistics, and Mathematical Programming and Skills. The second year introduces deeper theoretical concepts, with optional modules including Groups, Rings and Fields, Vector and Complex Calculus, and Statistical Inference and Linear Models. In the third year, students complete an Extended Independent Project alongside a broad range of optional choices spanning algebra, applied mechanics, statistics, and financial mathematics.
