On the foundation year, students will work through the basics, building up solid foundations of understanding and practical applications of mathematics through supporting science modules.
By the end of the first year, students will have the knowledge and skills needed to really excel at the BSc degree in the second year. Students will learn by taking part in a series of projects both individually and in a group. This really helps to develop the problem-solving and creative thinking skills.
The flexibility means that Nottingham Trent University can support students if they want to move on to one of the other mathematics or engineering courses in the second year.
The Sport Science and Mathematics degree is current and relevant to the needs of business. Nottingham Trent University's close links with industry mean that students will have the opportunity to take up job placements with some of the world’s leading companies.
Every year Nottingham Trent University offers a number of Mathematics Undergraduate Research Scholarships (MURS), giving successful applicants funding for a six-to-eight week placement in one of the research teams. This is a great opportunity for students to further their research interests and contribute to the academic activities of the mathematics department.
Students have recently formed a Mathematics Society, and they will have the opportunity to take part in regular events hosted on campus by the local branch of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications. And of course, there are plenty of sporting clubs and societies that students can get involved in too.
