Mathematics (Q31)

Open University

Take your understanding of concepts, theories and applications in pure and applied mathematics to graduate level. You can also include statistics, theoretical physics or mathematics education. You’ll cover various topics and develop an understanding of mathematical problems and approaches. Practise with essential methods and tools, and increase your familiarity with mathematical software. Gain an appreciation of the role and construction of rigorous proof. And build your experience of communicating mathematical arguments and conclusions. A mathematics degree can let you access professional training or entry-level positions in various career areas, such as data or actuarial science, teaching, and information services.

- Accredited by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA)- Start at a point that suits your level of mathematical knowledge- Choose pure and applied mathematics modules that fit your needs and interests- Include statistics, physics and mathematics education options- Develop your experience with mathematical methods and software- Move to a different mathematics/statistics degree if your aspirations change, even after you’ve started
