📖Program Curriculum
PROGRAMME STRUCTURE
A key feature of our degree programmes is the flexibility to study for a combined degree with large numbers of subjects from across the University Particularly common combined degree combinations include Physics Chemistry and Economics but in recent students have also completed combined degrees in subjects such as English French Music and Philosophy Availability of certain courses in combined Honours programmes may be subject to timetabling restrictions
YEAR 1
You will take a 40-credit course covering matrices linear equations complex numbers vectorscalculus and groups You will develop mathematical communication skills through regular small group problem-solving activities
YEAR 2
Courses cover multivariable calculus linear algebra topics in applied mathematics classical mechanics and mathematical modelling introduction to real analysis topics in pure mathematics including groups transformations and symmetries You can also choose to take optional mathematics courses on graphs and networks and discrete mathematics
You will also study other subjects in 1 and 2 see Flexible degrees
YEARS 3 4 AND 5
If you progress to Honours 3 and 4 you will study a wide range of topics
The Applied Mathematics courses allow students who prefer the practical and applicable aspects of the subject to concentrate on these elements The Pure Mathematics courses are ideal for students who prefer the abstract and logical aspects of the subject Most students take a mix of both
In fourth you will have the opportunity to specialise in your area of choice and undertake a project carried out under the supervision of one of our academic staff
There is also an opportunity to take an degree over five which explores mathematics topics in greater depth and includes an individually supervised research project
