Course summary
Build your analytical thinking and problem-solving skills by studying both pure and applied mathematics, and the chance to apply your knowledge to challenges and projects the world faces. If you're curious about how things work, enjoy logical reasoning or love solving problems, studying pure and applied mathematics could be a great fit. You’ll examine real-world applications, strengthen your critical thinking, analytical and computational skills, and develop knowledge that could support your development in areas such as science, finance, data analytics or technology. Key highlights
- Core and applied maths: learn to use algebra, calculus and computational tools like Python, MATLAB and R to solve real-world problems.
- Pure mathematics: develop your understanding of abstract theory, proofs and logical reasoning to understand how to apply mathematical methods, why those methods work and how they fit into the broader logical framework of mathematics.
- Career-focused skills: apply your knowledge through problem-solving activities and the use of industry-relevant tools. You may also have the opportunity to undertake a placement or work on projects that reflect real-world scenarios.
- Tailored learning: in your final year, you'll have the opportunity to choose from a range of optional modules, allowing you to shape your studies around your interests and develop expertise in areas that matter to you.
- Contemporary tools: you'll use mathematical software, AI tools and programming languages to explore and apply mathematical concepts to prepare you for a future where mathematics and computing increasingly intersect.
- Teaching expertise: you’ll be taught by academics who are active researchers in applied mathematics, including areas such as fluid dynamics and complex systems. Their research informs their teaching and project supervision (staff subject to change).
- Independant research project: undertake an individual research project, allowing you to get a deeper understanding of applied or pure mathematics under the guidance of an academic supervisor.
- Career-ready skills: graduate with the mathematical, problem solving and computational skills, which could help you prepare for roles in a wide range of sectors including finance, technology, research and data analysis.
Modules
The course has three key themes. Core Mathematics forms the foundation of essential techniques.Applied Mathematics demonstrates how these techniques can be used to solve real-world problems.Pure Mathematics reveals the conceptual underpinnings that both unify the subject and allow for future innovation. A strong computational element supports analytical methods, enhancing problem-solving through technology and programming. Year One Modules Algebra and Applications Statistics and Data Science Calculus and Applications Mathematical Modelling Year Two Modules Data Modelling and Machine Learning Advanced Calculus and Complex Analysis Differential Equations and Applications Further Algebra 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 years 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. Final Year Modules Optimisation and AI Advanced Topics and Statistics Mathematics and Data Science Project Optional Modules (Choose two out of the four modules): Cryptography and Information Theory Financial Maths Availability of optional modules may vary subject to student demand.
