MMath Mathematics
About this course
MMath (Hons) Mathematics, a mathematics degree focused on advanced analytical concepts and research methods. Core topics include Programming, Data Analysis, Statistics, and Mathematical Modelling. This four-year degree is accredited by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications. The first year covers core foundations through modules such as Foundations and Calculus, Introduction to Probability and Statistics, Introduction to Pure Mathematics, and Mathematical Programming and Skills. The second year introduces further topics via Vector and Complex Calculus and Linear Algebra, alongside optional modules in algebra, dynamics, and probability. In the third and fourth years, students undertake an Extended Independent Project and choose from a broad range of advanced optional modules spanning pure mathematics, applied mathematics, mathematical finance, and statistical data science.
