Studying mathematics at university encourages you to think in an entirely different way. Through the introduction to new mathematical concepts not explored at school level, you will develop a rigorous mindset. This programme provides a broad understanding of mathematics before specialising in statistics.


This new way of approaching and analysing complex problems is a particularly valuable skill, as is a knowledge of statistics, and will serve you well throughout your degree programme and beyond.


Outside subjects


In addition to your Year 1 and 2 mathematics courses, you will study courses in other subjects. These may be in related areas such as physics or informatics, or from the wide and varied range offered across the University, such as philosophy or languages.


From Year 3 onwards, you will only study mathematics and statistics courses.


Programme benefits
