MSc Mathematics

Gain an advanced understanding of mathematics and a solid foundation for any career requiring a strong mathematical background, including education, finance and engineering. You’ll be taught by renowned academics working at the forefront of mathematical research – their expertise underpinning the modules you’ll study. You can choose to specialise in a particular area, or study across a range of mathematical topics in applied mathematics, systems biology, fluid mechanics, statistics and financial mathematics.

The Graduate Skills and Advanced Mathematical Project modules let you work closely with experts, including the opportunity to work on an advanced mathematical problem with a supervisor in your final trimester. Our MSc students have even had papers published in peer-reviewed journals based on their MSc project work. Our well-equipped computer labs include industry-standard programming software such as MATLAB, R and CFD, which you’ll work on to enhance your mathematical understanding.

You’ll also prepare professional maths documents using LaTeX. As well as technical skills, you’ll develop transferrable abilities that are invaluable for employment and further studies at PhD level, such as teamwork, presentation, project management and report writing skills.
