In the first year of this course you will all be working towards passing a foundation year (year 0), which will enable automatic progression onto year 1 of any of our BSc (or MMath) Mathematics courses.If you want to - and if you didn't spend your second year in the United States - you can take a year out between Years 2 and 3, studying at one of our partner institutions in Europe (eligibility is dependent on your academic performance in Years 1 and 2).
