The MSc in Mathematics is ideal if you want to build on your BSc, extend your knowledge through a wider spread of topics, and demonstrate your literature research skills with an extended dissertation.
You study different elements of mathematics such as mathematical elements of computing, and develop your research, project management, and written communication skills.
Our extensive expert support helps to shape your dissertation into an excellent foundation for your future career.
Upon graduation you will be a knowledgeable mathematician with the proven skills to independently deliver a substantial project. This gives you a distinct edge in the increasingly competitive job market.
In the first part of the course you study a wide range of modules covering topics including stochastic processes, algebraic coding theory, Black Scholes theory and differential geometry. In the second part, you complete a significant dissertation project.
Over the course of your studies you will be assessed by a combination of written examinations, coursework and the dissertation.
Your studies will be supported by facilities including the main university library, containing an extensive collection of mathematics resources, and Digital Services.
Also available to you is the Reading Room in the centre of the department. This is home to the departmental library and a suite of computers.
