Course summary

Mathematics is the language that underpins the rest of science. Our interdisciplinary research recognises that mathematics, including what can be very abstract mathematics, is an essential part of research in many other disciplines. Our MSc Mathematics therefore provides an exceptional range of knowledge and skills that are currently in demand in mathematically oriented employment; in business, commerce, industry, government service, education and in the wider economy.

Topics on offer include:

Pure mathematics, including geometry, algebra, analysis and number theory

Applied topics such as cryptography, mathematical modelling, numerical methods, differential equations and dynamical systems

Statistical, financial and analytical methods including stochastic processes, financial derivatives, optimisation and the study of risk

As well as these mathematical topics, your degree will develop your programming skills in languages such as Python and SQL, and you will learn to solve sophisticated problems using computational toolkits such as Matlab, Maple and R
