Our Foundation Year course has been designed to give you access to a degree in Mathematics, without having to meet our traditional entry requirements. Whether you’re looking for a career change or don’t have the standard A-levels needed to go straight into a BSc, your application will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.Your Foundation Year will focus on the essential concepts, techniques and knowledge you’ll need to study mathematics at a higher level. Complete it successfully and you’ll be accepted onto our full BSc Mathematics degree.We combine academic rigour with a supportive community, and our enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff will guide through this fascinating subject. We pride ourselves on the personal attention our students receive, keeping seminar groups small and ensuring the relationships between staff and students are really strong. What’s more, we’re experts in a number of cutting-edge topics, in fact, over 87% of our mathematical sciences research outputs were judged as internationally excellent or world-leading (REF 2014).At UEA you’ll benefit from internationally recognised, research-led teaching and a high academic staff to student ratio, ensuring you graduate with a deep understanding of mathematics, and great career prospects.**Course Structure**Half of the modules you’ll study in your Foundation Year will focus entirely on mathematics. We’ll introduce you to fundamental theorems, standard notation, and core themes like algebra and calculus. The compulsory modules will be supplemented by optional modules in other related sciences, such as Physics, Computing or Chemistry, so you’ll gain an insight into other disciplines that utilise mathematical techniques, too.Complete your Foundation Year successfully and you’ll be eligible to move onto our three-year BSc Mathematics. The degree programme will build on the mathematical knowledge you will have developed in your Foundation Year, before introducing you to more advanced concepts that will be developed throughout the course. You will have the opportunity to specialise in years three and four, with a variety of modules that will enable you to tailor your degree programme around your particular interests.For the years of study beyond the Foundation Year, please see the course page specific to the degree programme on the provider's website.**Disclaimer**Course details are subject to change.
