Introduction
Engage with mathematical ideas that will develop your critical and intellectual abilities and introduce new ways of thinking.
Develop a broad understanding of mathematical theory, concepts and applications.
Use problem-solving skills and advanced logic to model and understand real-world phenomena.
This course aims to present you with a wide range of mathematical ideas in a way that develops your critical and intellectual abilities.
You'll develop a broad understanding of mathematical theory and application and have opportunities to deepen your knowledge in areas that appeal to you.
You will engage with concepts that are both a direct continuation of those at A-level, and others that introduce you to new ways of thinking.
Your studies will cover the key areas of mathematics such as algebra, analysis, probability and statistics. You'll also explore topics such as the logical structure of arguments, the proper definition of mathematical objects, the design of sophisticated mathematical models, and the legitimacy of computations.
As part of the Applied Mathematics/Mathematical Physics specialisation, you will examine a variety of relevant concepts, including dynamics of games, mathematical biology and scientific computation.
Through these specialised modules, you will focus on how mathematical methods can be used to solve problems in physics and other sciences.
You will also have the opportunity to choose from a wide selection of optional modules – many of which are linked to our cutting-edge research and led by pre-eminent experts in their fields.
As a graduate in mathematics, you'll possess a set of logical and analytical skills that employers highly value, enabling you to pursue opportunities across the commercial, government and education sectors.
Program Outcome
- Gain transferable skills relevant to a career in industry, government and academia.
- With specialised knowledge, you'll be highly sought after in a range of sectors.
- International banking, computing, business, law and accountancy are just some of your options.
- Other potential career paths could include financial services and healthcare technology.
