Course summary

Overview As mathematics is one of the most fundamental academic disciplines, we believe it’s crucial that higher mathematics education is available to anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of it. Our BSc Mathematics Foundation Year course is designed to give you access to a degree in mathematics without having to meet our traditional entry requirements – whether you’re a mature student looking for a career change, or you want to go deeper into a lifelong passion, or perhaps you’re leaving education without the A levels you need to go straight into a degree.  The initial Foundation Year will focus on the essential concepts, techniques, and knowledge that you’ll need to study mathematics at a higher level. You’ll also take optional introductory modules in computing, chemistry, or physics. On successfully completing the Foundation Year you’ll automatically continue onto the full BSc Mathematics degree.  The BSc degree begins with a year of compulsory modules in a range of fundamental mathematical topics, before moving onto more advanced subjects as the course progresses. In later years, our optional modules mean that you can tailor your studies around your interests. You can also take optional modules from other Schools, like the School of Environmental Sciences, the School of Computing Sciences or Norwich Business school, offering you a breath of choice and opportunity as you progress your studies. Mathematics is a fundamental language of science, technology, and finance, and our graduates find themselves with many versatile and exciting career options.
