Mathematics is central to everyday life and to the way we see the world. It is an intellectual adventure in its own right but it is also used to understand the physical world - from gravitational waves to global warming - and to find solutions in business and industry. In this programme you can choose to specialise in a particular aspect of mathematics or study courses from across the broad range offered by the School. BSc Mathematics can be taken as a broad programme where you will study courses in other subjects in Years 1 and 2. These may be in related areas such as physics or informatics or from the wide and varied range offered across the University. It is also possible for well-prepared applicants to follow an accelerated programme in which you start in Year 2. You will concentrate on mathematics in your initial year, with one course in management. You will be supported with extra courses covering the key ideas in algebra, calculus and proofs and problem-solving from Year 1 of the programme.
