Integrated Masters - Master of Mathematics (MMath) - Mathematics (with a Placement Year) (G104)

Gain a masters-level understanding of applied and pure mathematics on in the MMath Mathematics degree which can be tailored to students interests.

Develop an in-depth understanding of a subject that touches on every aspect of society and the natural world, from the physics of the oceans to the modelling of financial markets. This masters-level degree will allow students to pursue their specific interests, whether they enjoy pure or applied mathematics.

Additionally, the course is approved by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications and enables graduates to apply for Chartered Mathematician status following graduation. It is particularly ideal if they are considering a career as a research mathematician.

During the first two years students will study the main aspects of mathematics and develop their knowledge in areas such as algebra, analysis, calculus and differential equations. In the second year students will also take a skills module, which is designed to improve their transferable skills and enhance your employability.

The next two years are predominantly made up of optional modules, enabling graduates to tailor the course to suit their interests. These can include areas such as applied analysis, computational modelling, theoretical polymer physics, probability and statistics. One third of students final year will be made up of guided research project, for which students will be given one-to-one supervision by an academic member of staff with expertise in a chosen area. This will culminate in a report and presentation.
