The foundation year of this Coventry University degree will be delivered from our CU Coventry campus. Course delivery from year 1 of the degree onwards will be from Coventry University campus.

This course aims to provide you with a solid grounding for a career in Mathematics across a multitude of sectors.

The foundation year aims to provide you with a solid grounding in mathematical principles and an understanding of the core technology associated with the use and application of computer systems. Professional and academic skills are integrated across all modules, including information finding and handling, problem solving, and the communication of outcomes. Students who successfully complete their foundation year will then progress onto the Mathematics BSc (Hons) degree within Coventry University’s School of Computing, Mathematics and Data Science.

On the degree you will:

• Gain expertise in advanced analytical and numerical techniques for mathematical formulation and quantitative solution of real-world problems

• Hone abstract reasoning and critical thinking skills to become a globally competent mathematician aware of their social responsibilities

• Become adept at quickly learning new complex ideas and confidently contributing solutions via personal impact and effective collaboration

Key benefits of the degree

• You will be taught by a teaching team which includes active world renowned researchers in applied mathematics with expertise in fluid dynamics and complex systems, who share their cutting edge research expertise through teaching and supervising projects

• Our extensive faculty links with potential employers, including National Grid, MathWorks, Unipart, Rolls-Royce and Jaguar Land Rover, help us to maintain an excellent track record for graduate employability

• You’ll have the opportunity to access our computing facilities, which enable you to gain experience using mathematical software packages, like MAPLE and MATLAB®

• You’ll have the option to access one-to-one assistance from Sigma, the University’s internationally renowned Centre for Excellence in Mathematics and Statistics Support, which previously won the Times Higher Education (THE) award for Outstanding Support for Students
