Mathematics

The MMath Mathematics is an exciting and challenging degree that will give you the skills to think logically, solve complex problems, explore the beauty and power of mathematics, and gain a broader and deeper understanding of mathematics.

You’ll build a strong foundation in core areas like calculus, algebra, and statistics, while having the freedom to explore topics such as operational research, mathematical modelling, mathematical analysis, and more. Along the way, you’ll develop valuable analytical, computational, and problem-solving skills that are highly sought after in industries like finance, technology, engineering, education, and research.

You’ll also develop skills in computer programming, working with others, and communicating your work in different ways to a variety of audiences. Whether you’re fascinated by abstract theory or eager to apply maths to real-world challenges, this degree prepares you to pursue exciting opportunities in a wide range of fields.

The four-year MMath degree expands on the BSc Mathematics to prepare you for high-level entry into relevant professions. It’s also a solid base for pursuing a research career. In your final year of study you’ll have the opportunity to expand your mathematical knowledge further, alongside completing a major piece of project work, such as:
• a survey of an existing area of mathematical theory not covered in taught modules
• an introductory research project
• the development of a piece of mathematical software

Not only will you explore a research topic of your choice, but you will also develop the crucial professional skills that graduate employers are looking for including independence and the ability to communicate information clearly.
