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.
You will learn by traditional methods such as lectures, tutorials, and workshops as well as via computer assisted learning. From Level 2 onwards we teach the use of professional mathematical software packages in order to allow you to explore mathematics far beyond the limits of traditional teaching.
This also prepares you for the way in which Mathematicians work in finance, industry and research.
Assessment for almost all modules involves a final examination and takes into account varying amounts of continuous assessment, including assignments and class tests.
The structure of the mathematics degree programmes is flexible, and you may change your programme of study by consulting your Adviser of Studies after you have sampled work at either Level 1 or Level 2.
The Integrated Masters programmes – MMath Mathematics and MSci Mathematical Biology – were introduced during 2013. For details of the programme content in Level 5 please visit the programme webpage.
