Master of Mathematics - Mathematics with a Placement Year

This course has a flexible format, allowing students to combine modules from pure mathematics, applied mathematics and statistics, together with optional modules from other UEA Schools.  Students will begin by developing their existing mathematical knowledge, before moving onto more advanced subjects as the course progresses. In later years, optional modules mean that students can tailor their studies around their interests. Students can also take some optional modules from other Schools, like the School of Environmental Sciences, the School of Computing Sciences or Norwich Business School, offering a breath of choice and opportunity. 

The third year is spent on a full-time placement lasting from nine to fourteen months, where students will put their theoretical work into professional practice, gaining a real advantage when they graduate.  

In the final year, students will also take on a substantial research project, supported by an academic supervisor. This will provide experience in independent study and help develop key career skills such as literature reviewing, critical thinking, report writing and oral presentation.
