BEng Engineering Mathematics
About this course
BEng in Engineering Mathematics, a mathematics degree focused on mathematical and data modelling, computing, and general engineering applications. The final year involves choosing specialist options from engineering, mathematics, data science, mathematical biology, and artificial intelligence, alongside collaborative group modelling projects addressing current industrial and external problems. Students benefit from instruction by active researchers and have opportunities to engage with real-world applications spanning robotics, social media, medicine, and environmental modelling. The course includes prior accreditation by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, with a scheduled re-accreditation review expected by 2026.
