Course summary
Our mathematics courses give you the chance to become highly numerate and gain excellent training in logical thought. Mathematicians are not satisfied with an observation until they have proved it to be true. By learning mathematics and statistics at Birkbeck, you learn to construct reasoned, structured arguments. These tools of analysis, whether it be modelling situations with appropriate equations or using statistics to analyse data sets and test hypotheses, have countless applications in the real world. BSc Mathematics: our BSc Mathematics provides you with a broad education in mathematical sciences and their modern applications to commerce and the natural and social sciences, such as:
- game theory
- data science
- cryptography
- the mathematics of networks.
- BSc Mathematics with Accounting
- BSc Mathematics with Economics
- BSc Mathematics with Management
- develop your knowledge and understanding of mathematical and statistical techniques in the natural and social sciences
- learn how to follow and construct mathematical arguments and solve problems logically and analytically
- increase your ability to present, analyse and interpret data

We welcome applicants without traditional entry qualifications as we base decisions on our own assessment of qualifications, knowledge and previous work experience. We may waive formal entry requirements based on judgement of academic potential. If you have no previous Level 3 mathematics qualifications we recommend that you apply for the part-time evening study programme over four years. FOUNDATION YEAR DEGREES Our 'with Foundation Year' route is designed to give you extra support as it provides you with an additional year (full-time) or two years (part-time) of supported study. This is an ideal route if you are returning to study after a gap, or if you have not previously studied this subject, or if you did not achieve the grades you need for a place on this degree.
