Course summary

Do you have a passion to study mathematics, but lack the normal entry requirements for one of our honours degrees? Perhaps you've shown evidence of good academic potential, but don’t have sufficient qualifications or have been out of formal education for a while. This four year degree route incorporates a foundation year, which will develop your skills in pure and applied mathematics, statistics and some computer programming.- Gain a solid background equivalent to A level Mathematics, plus part of Further Mathematics and an introduction to computer programming. We explain how to solve problems, and also prove the mathematical results and rules that we use to give you a deeper understanding.- You are taught on campus by University lecturers: you are a member of our University’s mathematics community from the start.- An average mark of at least 50% in your foundation year entitles you to progress to the first year of any of our range of mathematics degrees. Please see above for your progression opportunities.- You have a great deal of available support including: a study room next to staff offices our lecturers’ open door policy a mathematics drop-in centre in the library and additional peer learning sessions led by second and third year students.- Enjoy new facilities – state-of-the-art lecture theatres, computer laboratories, study and social spaces – in our £50 million teaching and research building that opened in 2023. - Leading research experts teach you: 68% of our research papers were classified as ‘World Leading’ or ‘Internationally Excellent’ in the UK 2014 Research Excellence Framework.
