Mathematics

Accredited by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA), this course will enable you to become proficient in advanced mathematical and statistical concepts, and to explore their real-world applications.

Why study mathematics?
Mathematics is at the root of many of humanity's momentous achievements. It supports innovation and progress in science, engineering, technology, finance and economics.

For some mathematicians, solving a complex problem is a goal in itself. But mathematics is also a practical subject that has many real-life applications.

We use mathematics to model and to predict outcomes, for example in healthcare, in communication networks, and in finance. Because of the increasing availability and potential of very large data sets, graduate mathematicians are in high demand across a variety of sectors.
