About the course
If you don't want to specialise in just one area, want to impress employers with your CV, want a mix of skills to move your career on and enjoy two or three of your A level subjects equally, a Joint Honours degree could be for you.
You can study Mathematics as either a minor or joint element of your Joint Honours degree.
The Mathematics pathways offer you the opportunity to gain knowledge and understanding of concepts in mathematics, statistics and operational research, and enable you to explore the use of maths within the modern world of business. You'll develop analytical problem solving skills, communication skills and IT skills, working independently and as a member of a team. Our links with locally based international companies means you can work with them, integrating and applying your knowledge to practical real life situations.
Our friendly and supportive "drop in" mathematics clinics are also there to help you: "I would like to thank you for all your help during the last two semesters in the maths clinics, the time and day have been very helpful to me as all my other lectures and tutorials are on the opposite days, being able to come on a Wednesday afternoon has been a god send, please pass on my thanks to everyone who helps you in the clinics."

The subject team should be commended for the thought and effort they put into programme design.'
'The programme is coherent and relevant and reflects the benchmark statements for Mathematics, Statistics and Operational Research. I found the subject material, particularly in modules concerned with Mathematical Modelling and Current Issues in Mathematics, to be innovative and well chosen to stimulate the interest and enthusiasm of the students.'
'A wide range of assessment methods are used across all years, which is entirely appropriate given the nature of the material within the programmes.'
'The excellent use of real industrial problems, particularly in some coursework assignments. [Examination papers] were all appropriate given the module level and content. All assignments included excellent detailed descriptions for students explaining what was required to achieve specific grades.'
