Course summary
Are you curious about how advanced techniques in mathematical modelling are used? Do you want to learn about insights from the latest mathematical research? Perhaps you are keen to apply this learning to a real-life situation with a placement year as part of your degree. During this MMath you will cover these topics, learning from dedicated mathematicians. Our degree gives you the chance to learn more about the exciting research our academics are working on, whilst equipping you with the knowledge and skills to carry out your own research. You'll develop your skills in problem solving and analysis. The course will also enable you to enhance and develop your transferable skills in project work, group study and presentations, then apply them in the workplace during your year in industry. There's a range of specialised modules across all branches of mathematics, based upon our diverse research interests. Our academics are working on problems that span:
- medicine, biotechnology and food security
- epidemic modelling
- fluid mechanics, with applications in industry and biology
- statistical machine learning
- algebra and number theory
- mathematical finance
Modules
All students follow a common programme of study for the first year. You will focus on core modules that provide a solid foundation in the main mathematical topics. You'll build on your existing knowledge in areas such as algebra, probability and statistics. There will also be an introduction to key mathematical concepts in pure and applied maths. During the second and third year, alongside compulsory modules you will start to specialise, by choosing from a range of optional modules. You will spend the fourth year on an industrial placement. You will be allocated a placement tutor who will keep in touch and check on your progress throughout the year out. The final year provides you with even more freedom to choose optional modules in the areas that interest you. The compulsory dissertation takes place across the whole year. It gives you the opportunity to focus on self-directed study under the supervision of a member of staff. You will gain valuable skills and experience such as report writing and presentation skills, that may be useful for your future career.
