Furthermore, as part of the Russell Group, our rigorous scientific research feeds directly into your modules. Key features of this course:
- You’ll be able to specialise in pure or applied mathematics or statistics, or follow a broad path across these topics and more
- Learn to use mathematical and computational packages such as Python and the statistics package 'R'
- Undertake an individual research project in a field of your choice
- You’ll be taught through a combination of lectures and workshops, by leading researchers in fields, such as group theory, the mathematics of nature and experimental design.
Modules
The first three years of the course are similar to the BSc Mathematics programme, but in the fourth year you will have a much more prominent part in the direction of your studies and it will involve studying challenging Masters level mathematics. You will undertake an individually supervised project on a topic, which you can choose, and several of the lecture courses involve directed self-study and reading involving such topics as hyperbolic geometry, differential geometry, asymptotics and continuum mechanics. The final year as a whole will equip you with many of the skills you need in a career as a professional mathematician.

Assessment method
You will be assessed in a variety of ways such as coursework, tests and exams, enabling you to demonstrate your strengths and show what you have learnt.
