MSc Mathematical Sciences
Our MSc in Mathematical Sciences is a flexible and challenging programme, taught by leading experts in the field. It will help you to develop a wide range of mathematical techniques and gives you a solid foundation for further research or employment at the highest levels.
Under the guidance of an academic mentor, you will be offered a choice of units spanning the breadth of mathematics. There is a wide variety of combinations of units and themes, allowing you to add units from other schools to create an MSc that closely matches your interests. The taught element is followed by your chosen research project, which is supervised by an experienced research academic.
The programme gives you the opportunity to increase your understanding of mathematical theory and equips you with fundamental skills in the modelling and analysis of problems. Our graduates are highly sought after by employers for their strong analytical, communication and organisational skills. This programme also provides you with skills in quantitative research, reasoning and problem solving that will be valuable in your future career. Mathematics graduates often go on to PhD programmes, or find employment in finance, accountancy, research, teaching or management.

Entry requirements: Applicants should possess a first-class honours degree (or international equivalent) in mathematics or a very closely related subject (eg statistics, mathematical physics). Professional experience or other qualifications are very unlikely to be relevant.
MSc Mathematics of Cybersecurity Preserving the security of computers, connected devices and their data becomes more important every year. Mathematics plays a key role in both preventing and modelling security breaches, with many cyber security tools and algorithms being based on mathematical ideas.
This postgraduate programme gives you a rigorous introduction to the underpinning theories in mathematics and will equip you with modern tools to implement them. You will gain a qualification and skills in an area where there is a recognised skills shortage in the employment market.
The MSc is composed of a taught component running from October to May (120 credit points), followed by a 60-credit group research project between June and September. There are a range of mandatory and optional units in the taught component, covering pure mathematics, data science, computer science and statistics. Bespoke units have been designed specifically
for the MSc in Mathematics of Cybersecurity. You will complete a group dissertation project with a real-world focus at the end of the taught component of your programme.
The School of Mathematics has more than doubled in size over the last decade; in the most recent Research Excellence Framework, 87 per cent of our mathematical sciences research was recognised as world-leading or internationally excellent.
Entry requirements: An upper second-class honours degree (or international equivalent) in mathematics or statistics. Applicants need to be able to demonstrate strong skills in Probability and Statistics, equivalent to the University of Bristol School of Mathematics Probability 2 and Statistics 2 units. Applicants would also benefit from having a basic understanding of one or more programming languages (eg R, Python or C). Professional experience may be taken into consideration alongside qualifications.
