Course Overview

Many of civilisation’s greatest achievements are built on mathematics. By choosing a mathematics degree, you will learn to make an important contribution to the world around us, be it in science, technology or engineering. The foundation year pathway is designed to help you build a strong foundation in mathematical principles, so you are ready to progress onto our BSc (Hons) Mathematics Degree.

This pathway is recommended if you don't meet the prerequisites for the full honours degree, whether you are new to higher education or seeking to develop your career in a new direction. On successful completion of the foundation year, you will progress on to the full honours degree, where you will continue to build specialised knowledge and mathematical skills.

Our mathematics degree course is designed to take you to an advanced level. Blending applied methods with cutting-edge themes, like nanotechnology, economic stability and artificial intelligence, you’ll graduate with in-demand skills for the contemporary business environment

You will:

  • Identify, define and evaluate real-world problems, using applied mathematics to challenge conventional ideas

  • Be taught by a combination of experienced mathematicians and finance sector staff

  • Engage with business and industry throughout the course

  • Become familiar with modelling physical processes relevant to industries such as engineering and computing
