Mathematics & Statistics (continued)
Two Pure Mathematics Vacation Scholars
Degree Programmes Offered These range from the highly specialised MMath programmes to the more broadly based Joint degrees with another subject. All programmes are four years long and based upon a flexible and innovative module structure built around a core of essential material.
When you are applying, you may not be sure of the type of programme that will most suit you. If you expect to be well qualified in school mathematics then you should apply for UCAS course code G100 which will give you access to everything we offer.
Mathematically well-qualified entrants can embark upon one of our four-year MMath degrees: Applied Mathematics (G120), Pure Mathematics (G110), Statistics (G300), or just Mathematics (G100), which can include topics from more than one research area. These degrees offer an accelerated sequence of modules in mathematics and/or statistics designed in such a way as to allow some freedom of choice in year one but ensuring that the advanced topics are reached by year four. The course structure is unique within Scotland and maintains the flexibility of the St Andrews structure whilst providing accelerated progression for the well qualified. This is what we call our ‘fast track’. In the final year students undertake a research-based dissertation and select four Advanced modules. Specialist modules currently on offer include:
Applied Mathematics: • Solar Theory
• Fluid Mechanics
Pure Mathematics: • Group Theory • Modern Analysis
Statistics: • Ecological Dynamics • Population Assessment
• Computational Techniques • Analytic Techniques
• Fractal Geometry • Finite Fields
• Bayesian Inference Statistical Modelling
•
We offer a four-year BSc/MA degree in Mathematics (G101 or G102) and Statistics (G301 or G302) for those not wishing to take the accelerated MMath route. Students take a broad first year programme, which can include up to two other subjects, and the mathematics component concentrates upon reinforcing basic skills and ideas before embarking upon the study of Pure Maths, Applied Maths and/or Statistics in second year.
The second year modules include a central core of material that everyone takes as part of their programme with a wide range of options. These provide the foundation for study in years three and four where there are over 40 modules available for study over the two Honours years.
All the Joint degrees stem from the broad first year and the extensive list of Joint Honours indicates the flexibility of the modular structure and the scope of the opportunities at St Andrews.
