Mathematics

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.

You'll be assessed in different ways so that you have a chance to show your individual strengths and abilities. You'll also be supported throughout your studies by our teaching team who are experienced, approachable and easily contacted.
