Mathematics Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)

Build your analytical thinking and problem-solving skills by studying both pure and applied mathematics, and the chance to apply your knowledge to challenges and projects the world faces.

If you're curious about how things work, enjoy logical reasoning or love solving problems, studying pure and applied mathematics could be a great fit. You’ll examine real-world applications, strengthen your critical thinking, analytical and computational skills, and develop knowledge that could support your development in areas such as science, finance, data analytics or technology.

Key highlights

* Core and applied maths: learn to use algebra, calculus and computational tools like Python, MATLAB and R to solve real-world problems.

* Pure mathematics: develop your understanding of abstract theory, proofs and logical reasoning to understand how to apply mathematical methods, why those methods work and how they fit into the broader logical framework of mathematics.

* Career-focused skills: apply your knowledge through problem-solving activities and the use of industry-relevant tools. You may also have the opportunity to undertake a placement or work on projects that reflect real-world scenarios.

Why you should study this course

* Tailored learning: in your final year, you'll have the opportunity to choose from a range of optional modules, allowing you to shape your studies around your interests and develop expertise in areas that matter to you.

* Contemporary tools: you'll use mathematical software, AI tools and programming languages to explore and apply mathematical concepts to prepare you for a future where mathematics and computing increasingly intersect.

* Teaching expertise: you’ll be taught by academics who are active researchers in applied mathematics, including areas such as fluid dynamics and complex systems. Their research informs their teaching and project supervision (staff subject to change).

* Independant research project: undertake an individual research project, allowing you to get a deeper understanding of applied or pure mathematics under the guidance of an academic supervisor.

* Career-ready skills: graduate with the mathematical, problem solving and computational skills, which could help you prepare for roles in a wide range of sectors including finance, technology, research and data analysis.

This course includes a sandwich (placement year) option.
