Course summary

This course provides an exciting opportunity to study mathematics abroad. You can choose from countries including Australia, Canada, France plus many others. The year abroad enables you to experience a new culture and improve your language skills.

Are you fascinated by abstract concepts such as infinity and symmetry? Do you want to develop your skills in problem solving and analysis? Our BSc Mathematics (International Study) will prepare you for a career in which you can apply the knowledge and skills you have learnt. The course will enable you to enhance and develop your transferable skills in project work, group study and presentations.

There's a range of specialised modules across all branches of mathematics, based upon our diverse research interests. Our academics are working on problems that span:

  • medicine, biotechnology and food security

  • epidemic modelling

  • fluid mechanics, with applications in industry and biology

  • statistical machine learning

  • algebra and number theory

  • mathematical finance

Courses for students, by students
Our co-created curriculum is redefining studying maths. Imagine being part of a vibrant community where students have actively shaped the degree programmes.

We believe in collaboration, and that's why our students, industry professionals, and alumni joined forces with our dedicated staff to design degrees suitable for the real world. As you would expect there is emphasis on mathematical concepts and techniques, but with a practical application too.

About mathematics at the University of Nottingham
The first year of this accredited degree gives you a flavour of the different areas of mathematics on offer. You will cover topics spanning applied mathematics, pure mathematics, statistics and probability. You will work individually and in groups to solve real-world problems using advanced theories and techniques.

It helps you to decide what you enjoy and if there are areas in which you want to specialise.

Later topics include:

  • abstract mathematical structures

  • ordinary and partial differential equations

  • probabilistic and statistical models

  • mathematical finance

  • quantum mechanics and relativity

Putting your maths into practice
There are lots of opportunities to apply your knowledge in a real-world context, by working together with other students and lecturers to tackle complex problems from industry and academia.

We work closely with our industry partners and alumni to ensure the course is matched to employer needs so you can enter the workplace confident in the skills and knowledge you've gained.

Careers and employability
Many of our graduates use the mathematical principles and techniques they have developed for jobs in:

  • data analytics

  • engineering

  • finance

  • medicine

  • software development

  • teaching

Others use their transferable skills of analytical thinking and problem-solving in non-scientific roles such as management and consultancy.

Contextual admissions

Universities and colleges consider more than grades when assessing applications and may make offers based on a range of criteria. Learn more about contextual offers.

We consider applicants solely on the basis of their merits, abilities and potential – we use exam grades to prioritise applicants but look at a range of factors and aim to give everyone an equal opportunity to show their achievements.

We understand that background and personal circumstances can have an impact on academic performance at school or college. Applicants who are eligible under our contextual admissions policies may be considered for a reduced contextual offer.
