UndergraduateCourse summary
Mathematics is the language that underpins the rest of science. Our interdisciplinary research recognises that mathematics, including what can be very abstract mathematics, is an essential part of research in many other disciplines. Our MSc Mathematics therefore provides an exceptional range of knowledge and skills that are currently in demand in mathematically oriented employment: in business, commerce, industry, government service, education, and in the wider economy. Topics on offer include:
- pure mathematics, including algebra, graph theory, number theory and cryptography
- applied topics such as mathematical modelling, numerical methods, dynamical systems and differential equations
- statistical and financial methods including stochastic processes, financial derivatives and computational statistics
