Course summary

Our Mathematics MSci will give you the basis you need in advanced mathematics. In your fourth year you will conduct a research project, pursuing your own academic interests and acquiring the skill of independent academic research. This course leads to careers where mathematics is used technically, including industrial and academic research and finance, but will also suit those who wish to deepen their undergraduate studies.

You will spend your third year gaining valuable work experience with a year-long placement at a UK company before returning to complete a final year with us. Finding an industry placement will require students to be resourceful and engaged. The Faculty has dedicated placement support providing advice and host employer-led events, ensuring you have all the tools to secure the right placement for you.
