If you enjoyed studying Mathematics at school and would like to study the subject in more depth, you should consider G100 or G101. G100 provides an excellent foundation for a wide range of careers. Students who opt for the four-year MMath programme are well placed to embark on a PhD or to take a research post in industry after graduation.

Please note that we regularly review our teaching, so the choice of modules may change.

Programme in detail

In the first two years of this programme, you will study a range of topics covering important areas of both pure and applied mathematics, no assumptions are made about whether or not you have previously studied mechanics or statistics, or have previous experience of the use of computers. Year One modules introduce fundamental ideas and also reinforce A level work.

A mathematically-based degree opens up a wide range of career opportunities, including some of the most lucrative professions.

Typical types of work our graduates have gone onto include as an actuarial trainee analyst in the audit practice, a graduate management trainee risk analyst and as a trainee chartered accountant on a graduate business programme. Employers value mathematicians’ high level of numeracy and problem solving skills.

Financial rewards are impressive, research by Pricewaterhouse Coopers revealed that mathematical science graduates earn on average an extra £241,749 over their lifetime than those who leave school after A levels. This is the third highest ‘graduate premium’ of all subject areas
