Course Highlights
This course focuses on applied and computational Mathematics, which is the team's research specialism and a skill set highly valued by employers. You will have the opportunity to develop subject-specific skills (applicable in, for example, the biosciences, finance sector and engineering) and key transferable skills (including IT, problem solving and written and oral communication).
The course is together a course to cater for the needs of both Single Honours Mathematics graduates and graduates who have studied Mathematics as part of a degree – for example, you may have studied Mathematics as part of a joint honours course or as part of a physics-related degree.
You will have the opportunity to work on projects directly linked to the degree team’s own research, which includes work of both a theoretical and practical nature. You will also have access to specialist mathematics computing facilities and a well-stocked library, including electronic resources.
