Summary

Mathematics is the language that underpins the rest of science. Our interdisciplinary research recognises that mathematics, including what can be very abstract mathematics, is an essential part of research in many other disciplines. Our MSc Mathematics therefore provides an exceptional range of knowledge and skills that are currently in demand in mathematically oriented employment: in business, commerce, industry, government service, education, and in the wider economy.

Topics on offer include:

  • pure mathematics, including algebra, graph theory, number theory and cryptography

  • applied topics such as mathematical modelling, numerical methods, dynamical systems and differential equations

  • statistical and financial methods including stochastic processes, financial derivatives and computational statistics

As well as these mathematical topics, this degree develops your programming skills in languages such as Python and SQL, and you learn to solve sophisticated problems using computational toolkits such as MATLAB, Maple, and R.

Our School of Mathematics, Statistics and Actuarial Science has an international reputation in many areas including semi-group theory, optimisation, probability, applied statistics, bioinformatics, mathematical biology, dynamical systems, complex systems, and complex networks. we are genuinely innovative and student-focused. Our research groups are working on a broad range of collaborative areas tackling real-world issues.
