Mathematics with a Foundation Year at University of East Anglia UEA - UCAS

Course summary

Overview As one of the most fundamental academic disciplines, we believe mathematics should be accessible to anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of it. Our BSc Mathematics with a Foundation Year course is designed to open the door to a mathematics degree without the need to meet traditional entry requirements. Whether you’re a mature student considering a career change, someone eager to explore a lifelong passion, or leaving education without the A-levels needed to enter a degree directly, this course provides a supportive and flexible pathway into higher mathematics. The initial foundation year focuses on the essential concepts, techniques, and knowledge you’ll need to study mathematics at a higher level. You’ll also have the opportunity to explore optional introductory modules in computing, chemistry, or physics. Upon successful completion of the foundation year, you’ll automatically progress onto the full BSc Mathematics degree. Our BSc Mathematics degree begins with a year of compulsory modules covering a range of fundamental mathematical topics, before progressing to more advanced subjects as the course develops. In later years, you’ll have the flexibility to tailor your studies around your interests through a wide selection of optional modules. You can also choose modules from other Schools, like the School of Environmental Sciences, the School of Computing Sciences, or Norwich Business School, giving you a breadth of choice and the opportunity to explore interdisciplinary areas. Mathematics is the language of science, technology, and finance, and our graduates go on to pursue a wide variety of exciting and versatile career paths.
