The Master of Mathematics (MMath) provides students with a rigorous education in mathematical theory and practice, developing their expertise across pure and applied mathematics, statistics, and computational mathematics. The MMath degree programme utilises our BSc Mathematics course provision up to level  4 and then uses Masters level courses in the final year of the programme. It is designed to equip you with the ability to formulate and solve real-world problems. Mathematics provides the tools to make advances in science, technology and engineering and therefore your mathematical skills will be in high demand in a wide range of sectors.

We have carefully designed a curriculum that teaches a comprehensive programme in modern mathematics. Our programmes also includes courses that emphasize practical and transferable skills, IT expertise, and career readiness. Activities include, giving presentations, producing independent research reports, working in groups to solve problems, and developing your CV and interview skills. Our mathematics degrees are ranked 1st for graduate employment prospects in The Times Good University Guide 2024. Our recent mathematics graduates use their skills in the Financial, Engineering, Data Science and Professional Services sectors, and more.

A graduate from the MMath degree will be able to communicate mathematical ideas to specialist and non-specialist audiences and unambiguously demonstrate the ability to work professionally with a considerable degree of autonomy. They will also be well equipped to continue independent study in mathematics (e.g. PhD study), should they wish to do so.
