Accreditation

This course is accredited by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA). Successfully completing your degree fulfils part of the educational requirement for chartered status.

Teaching and assessment

You'll work with world‐leading academics who’ll challenge you to think independently and excel in all that you do. Our approach to teaching will provide you with the knowledge, opportunities, and support you need to grow and succeed in a global workplace.

You'll spend around a quarter of your time in scheduled teaching. You time will be split between large group teaching and smaller classes to focus on specific problems and concepts.

You’ll study and learn with academics who are active researchers, experts in their field and have a passion for their subjects. You'll be introduced to a huge range of new concepts, meaning you'll have to spend time outside of your classes consolidating your knowledge.
