Modules

Year One This course has a common first year. In the first year, the curriculum is shared across related courses allowing you to gain a broad grounding in the discipline before going on, in the second and third years, to specialist modules in your chosen field. We want your degree to fit around you, so upon successful completion of your first year, you could swap degrees with another course in your common first year (subject to meeting progression requirements). Common first-year courses Mathematics and Statistics BSc (Hons) Physics and Mathematics BSc (Hons) Modules Calculus - 20 Credits Algebra - 20 Credits Programming 1: Concepts and Algorithms - 20 Credits Probability and Statistics - 20 Credits Mechanics and Numerical Methods - 20 Credits Mathematical Case Studies - 20 Credits Year Two In the second year you will develop the mathematics which you started in year one, concentrating further on a core of theoretical and applicable mathematics, from more advanced algebra and calculus, through ordinary and partial differential equations to real analysis and a strand of statistical study. Modules Further Calculus and Complex Analysis - 20 credits Linear Algebra and Differential Equations - 20 Credits Groups and Rings - 20 Credits Partial Differential Equations and Analytical Mechanics - 20 Credits Real Analysis - 20 Credits Linear Statistical Models - 20 Credits Placement Year There’s no better way to find out what you love doing than trying it out for yourself, which is why a work placement* can often be beneficial. Work placements usually occur between your second and final year of study. They’re a great way to help you explore your potential career path and gain valuable work experience, whilst developing transferable skills for the future. If you choose to do a work placement year, you will pay a reduced tuition fee* of £1250. For more information, please go to the fees and funding section. During this time, you will receive guidance from your employer or partner institution, along with your assigned academic mentor who will ensure you have the support you need to complete your placement. Final Year The final year continues the themes of developing expertise in pure and applied mathematics. In addition to core advanced modules, you will be provided with a wide choice of options from modules such as Topology and Applications, Quantum Information and Quantum Computation, and Financial Mathematics. You will also do a substantial research project on a mathematical topic with a tailored support from an individually selected supervisor.
