Summary
**Why choose this course**
From the ancient cultures of Greece, Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, China and beyond, to the modern era and across the globe, mathematics has played a central role in all aspects of the advancement of society. The subject remains at the heart of science and those who study mathematics find it immensely rewarding.
In our experience, candidates will usually pursue a mathematics degree at masters level for one or more of the following reasons:
-Many students undertake our MSc to enhance their career prospects
-Others see it as a crucial staging post on the path to a PhD
-Some approach the subject on account of the intellectual excitement and pleasure that it can bring as mathematics purely for the sake of mathematics.
Our MSc Mathematics has been designed to satisfy the needs of candidates with any of these goals in mind.
**What you will study**
