Mathematics plays an important role in many aspects of modern life, providing the techniques and language to handle problems from a wide variety of disciplines. It has always been essential for engineering and the physical sciences and is becoming increasingly important in the life sciences and social sciences. Yet mathematics is not only studied because of its applications; it has a fascination and beauty of its own, characterised by precision and logical rigour. Mathematics forms a rewarding, challenging and varied subject of study at university, and our mathematics degrees span a wide range of mathematical topics, encompassing mathematical methods, pure mathematics, applied mathematics, and probability and statistics.The 4-year MMath programme allows you to follow your mathematical interests to a deeper level than the BSc programme, and is particularly suitable for those considering postgraduate work in mathematics or a career which makes extensive use of advanced mathematical techniques in the academic, industrial or commercial sectors.
