Our mathematics degree is an ‘applied mathematics’ degree; you will learn to solve mathematical problems at the cutting edge of our understanding of the world around us, in small classes and a friendly atmosphere.
The BSc in Mathematical Biology is the only dedicated undergraduate mathematical biology degree offered in the UK. Mathematical biology involves using mathematical techniques and computational tools to answer problems that arise in biology. New, exciting challenges in the life sciences are now being met using mathematical modelling, which is having a direct impact on health, social and ecological aspects of modern life.
We are a relatively small division and operate with an excellent staff/student ratio. One advantage of this is that we can get to know each student personally, and so can offer a friendly and supportive learning experience. Staff are ready and willing to help at all levels, and in addition, our Student-Staff Committee meets regularly to discuss matters of importance to our students.
employability
Mathematics is central to the sciences, and to the development of a prosperous, modern society. The demand for people with mathematical qualifications is considerable, and a degree in mathematics is a highly marketable asset. Mathematics graduates are consistently amongst those attracting the highest graduate salaries and can choose from an ever-widening range of careers in research, industry, science, engineering, commerce, finance and education. Many of our graduates enter the financial sector following career paths in accountancy, banking, the stock market and insurance.
Exciting new applications of mathematical biology are opening up yet more career options in the biotech industries. Here you could be involved in designing new anti-cancer drugs or new treatment regimes for patients with diabetes. Even if you do not take your mathematics any further than university, employers know that mathematics graduates are intelligent, logical problem solvers. With this training behind you, the career options become almost limitless.
teaching and assessment
Mathematics is taught as a broad-based syllabus at Levels 1 to 3. This leads onwards in Level 4 to a set of topics inspired by our internationally-rated research strengths in applied mathematics, including numerical analysis, mathematical biology, applied analysis and magnetohydrodynamics. This means that our undergraduate programme is always up-to-date and focused on important and exciting applications of modern mathematics.
