Our four-year Master of Mathematics degree has a flexible format that allows you to combine modules from pure and applied mathematics and statistics, together with optional modules from other UEA schools.   

In addition, you’ll spend your third year studying advanced mathematics modules at one of our partner universities overseas.  

Our academics are enthusiastic and knowledgeable. You will benefit from a very high academic-staff-to-student ratio, ensuring you graduate with a deep understanding of mathematics.   

Our lecturers are also active researchers who conduct world-leading work and incorporate it into their teaching. Over 87% of our mathematical sciences research outputs were judged internationally excellent or world-leading (REF 2014). You will learn within the most up-to-date settings.  

If you complete your studies with distinction, you may want to join our group of postgraduate students, as our integrated Master’s programme is excellent preparation for a career in research – either in industry or within a university.  

PLACEMENT YEAR AND STUDY ABROAD

Integral to this degree programme, you’ll spend your third year studying Mathematics abroad, usually at a university in Australia or North America.

AFTER THE COURSE

There are many professions that are traditionally associated with mathematics, such as accountancy, banking and finance, statistics and data analysis, and secondary or higher education.   

However, there are many others in which logical thought and problem-solving are important. These include information technology, engineering, logistics and distribution, central or local government, as well as other business areas. Many of our graduates also choose to continue their studies by going on to a higher degree.   

The School of Mathematics works together with the University’s Careers Service to offer support to students at every stage of their course, from finding paid or voluntary work opportunities and choosing a career, through to applying for graduate jobs.
