Course summary
The financial world relies on mathematics and expertise in analytical thinking and problem solving. This course is designed for students who want to:
-
understand more about how the stock markets work
-
learn the principles of business and finance
-
learn about insurance and risk
This accredited course enables you to study mathematics whilst learning key financial principles. The course is run jointly with Nottingham University Business School. Approximately 75% of the teaching is mathematics; the remainder includes finance and business economics modules.
Our research feeds into our teaching. This means we can offer an extensive choice of core and optional modules. The compulsory group project module in the third year gives you the chance to work on specific projects tackled through workshops and student-led group activities.
Courses for students, by students
Our co-created curriculum is redefining studying maths. Imagine being part of a vibrant community where students have actively shaped the degree programmes.
We believe in collaboration, and that's why our students, industry professionals, and alumni joined forces with our dedicated staff to design degrees suitable for the real world. As you would expect there is emphasis on mathematical concepts and techniques, but with a practical application too.

About mathematics at the University of Nottingham
You will study core first-year mathematics modules in topics such as calculus, probability and statistics. This will develop your skills in problem solving and analytical thinking. The year will include an introduction to business and finance, including accounting and insurance.
As you progress to later years of your degree, you will have more flexibility to choose topics from optional modules. In mathematics, you can explore advanced topics in mathematical finance and modelling, whilst developing expertise in finance and risk management in the Business School.
In your final year, you do a compulsory mathematics group project. This gives you the chance to work collaboratively on a substantial financial mathematics problem. You'll be supervised by expert teaching staff. This is an excellent opportunity to develop your report-writing and team-working skills.

Contextual admissions
Universities and colleges consider more than grades when assessing applications and may make offers based on a range of criteria. Learn more about contextual offers.
We consider applicants solely on the basis of their merits, abilities and potential – we use exam grades to prioritise applicants but look at a range of factors and aim to give everyone an equal opportunity to show their achievements.
We understand that background and personal circumstances can have an impact on academic performance at school or college. Applicants who are eligible under our contextual admissions policies may be considered for a reduced contextual offer.
