About this course
MMath (Hons) Mathematics (with a year abroad), a mathematics degree centred on pure and applied mathematical concepts, problem-solving techniques and abstract theory. Core topics include Programming, Data Analysis, Statistics, and Mathematical Modelling. The course includes a third year spent at an international partner university and is accredited by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications. The first year covers the foundations through Foundations and Calculus, Introduction to Probability and Statistics, Introduction to Pure Mathematics, Multivariable Calculus and Matrices, Introduction to Applied Mathematics, and Mathematical Programming and Skills. The second year introduces Vector and Complex Calculus and Linear Algebra alongside optional modules such as Groups, Rings and Fields, Metric Spaces, Classical Dynamics, Quantum and Continuum Dynamics, Probability and Markov Chains, and Statistical Inference and Linear Models. The final years involve an Extended Independent Project and advanced options spanning cryptography, financial mathematics, numerical analysis, quantum theory, and statistical data science.
