BSc Mathematics with Modern Languages
About this course
BSc in Mathematics with Modern Languages, a mathematics and modern languages degree combining mathematical training with language proficiency. Core topics include Programming, Statistics, and Mathematical Modelling. This three-year undergraduate course provides the opportunity to study two or more modern languages alongside core mathematical subjects. The first year covers the foundations through Analysis 1, Analysis 2, Algebra 1, and Algebra 2. The second year builds core knowledge via Analysis 3: Complex Analysis, Algebra 3: Further Linear Algebra, and Fourier Methods and Linear PDEs, with additional choices such as Curves and Surfaces and Number Theory. In the final year, students select from a range of advanced options including Measure Theory, Functional Analysis, and Galois Theory.
