Mathematics

Overview

If you’re fascinated by the complexity and beauty of mathematics, our prestigious four-year Master of Mathematics degree programme will allow you to delve deep and develop your interests as part of a vibrant intellectual community. Mathematics is the fundamental language of science, technology, and finance, and our graduates find themselves with many versatile and exciting career options. Our four-year Integrated Master’s course is also ideal if you want to take your studies to the next level and prepare to work in academia or research. Going into greater depth than our three-year BSc programme, it’s a flexible course that allows you to choose from a broad range of options in different areas of mathematics and statistics.

You’ll begin by developing your existing mathematical knowledge, before moving onto more advanced subjects as the course progresses. In later years, our optional modules mean that you can tailor your studies around your interests. In the second and third years, you can also take optional modules from other subjects, such as computing, physics, environmental science, and business.

In your final year, you’ll choose to study a number of more specialised and in-depth mathematics modules, taught by leading experts. You’ll also work with an academic supervisor on a substantial individual research project in your final year. This will give you experience of independent study and improve your key career skills such as literature reviewing, critical thinking, report writing and oral presentation.

At UEA, you’ll benefit from our internationally recognised, research-led teaching and a high academic-staff-to-student ratio, ensuring that you graduate with a deep understanding of mathematics, and fantastic career prospects. Lectures are complemented by small-group tutorials in your first year and regular workshops in later years, ensuring that you get quality time with world-class lecturers.

If you complete your studies with distinction, you may want to join our active group of postgraduate students, as our integrated Master’s programme is excellent preparation for a career in research – either in industry, or within a university. This is just one of the many challenging and stimulating career paths open to you after you graduate.
