Mathematics BSc (Hons) Mathematics
What’s it about?
Mathematics at Salford gives you a range of transferable skills which are highly regarded by employers. As a graduate you will be numerate, have high level problem solving skills and be able to apply maths to a huge range of situations in industries such as engineering, computing, business, finance and accounting.
We encourage participation in a year out in industry where you can develop your practical and theoretical knowledge. Our maths degree is situated in the School of Computing, Science & Engineering so you will have many options as to which industry you wish to take your mathematical skills to.
What will I learn?
Some of year 1 will follow on from what you have learned at A level with modules in linear algebra, calculus and probability. You will also learn about mathematical modelling from an early stage so you become familiar with modelling particular physical processes relevant to industries such as engineering and computing.
In year 2 you will continue to solve real-world problems in a dedicated module called Business and Industrial Mathematics.
In year 3 you will have the option to specialise alongside your core modules and also carry out a project in an area of your choice.
Modules include: • Linear Algebra • Mathematical Modelling • Probability • Business and Industrial Mathematics • Numerical Analysis • Statistics • Optional modules include: Applied Statistics, Artificial Intelligence and Neural Networks, Continuum Mechanics, Mathematical Statistics, Operational Research, Viscous Fluids
How will I learn? Lectures, tutorials, case studies, workshops and research projects will form the basis of your study. You will also use specialist software packages such as MATLAB and SPSS as part of your learning.
A practical approach to learning complex mathematical methods is achieved through direct application to real problems arising in physics, computing, engineering and acoustics.
Can I get work experience?
We will encourage you to take an industrial placement year between your second and third year of study. It will be a paid placement from a choice of industries.
Where can I get a job?
We aim to produce high calibre graduates with knowledge and understanding of mathematical and scientific methods that set you up for a career in the scientific and business industries.
