Mathematics MA (Hons)

Mathematics at university encourages you to think in an entirely different way. <br/><br/>You will develop a rigorous mindset and be introduced to new mathematical concepts not explored at school level. <br/><br/>By the end of your programme, you will specialise in an area of your particular mathematical interest. <br/><br/>This new way of approaching and analysing complex problems is a particularly valuable skill, applicable to many exciting career paths. This makes mathematics graduates extremely employable. <br/><br/>The MA Mathematics programme combines the study of mathematics with an art or humanities subject, of your choice, selected from the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Science.<br/><br/>In Years 1 and 2, you will spend up to half of your time studying your chosen arts or humanities subject; you will spend the rest of your time on mathematics.<br/><br/>From Year 3 onwards, you will study mathematics only. You can choose to specialise in a particular aspect of mathematics or study courses across the broad range offered by our School.<br/><br/>**Why study MA Mathematics?**<br/><br/>Whilst very similar to our BSc Mathematics programme, there are some subtle differences:<br/><br/><br/>* your outside subject must be selected from the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences <br/><br/><br/>* your outside subject should be the same in Years 1 and 2 <br/><br/><br/>If you would prefer more flexibility and variety with your outside subjects, you may prefer the BSc Mathematics programme. <br/><br/>**Flexibility between BSc and MA**<br/><br/>Provided you take the appropriate outside subjects, it is easy to switch between the BSc and the MA programmes once you are enrolled at the University.<br/><br/>From Year 3 onwards, our BSc and MA programmes are the same. <br/><br/>Note: this degree is an undergraduate degree and not a masters degree. <br/><br/>If you would like to study for a masters degree, please see our MMath integrated masters programme. Or you may consider completing an MSc degree after your undergraduate degree.
