Mathematics with Integrated Master’s
MMath
Why study this course?
Mathematics performs strongly for student satisfaction. We pride ourselves on
providing a friendly and supportive environment for students. We offer a carefully
designed first-year curriculum and a multi-layered student support structure
designed to help students make the transition into University study.
Our Integrated Master's course provides students the opportunity to
develop specialist subject knowledge and skills to progress to a career
in academia or industry.
This course adds a fourth year at Master’s level to our bachelor’s degree,
in which you will study specialist modules based on your own interests
as well as your tutors’ research interests. Building on what you learned
in your first three years, you will develop higher-level skills both in
mathematics and in your approaches to problem solving and the
communication of your solutions to diverse audiences. When studying an
undergraduate Master's you will spend more time in self-directed study,
becoming an independent learner, thinker and researcher. You will
deliver a substantial project, write mathematics to a professional standard
and explore how mathematicians contribute to academia and industry.
INDICATIVE MODULES
First, Second and Third Year
• For indicative modules, please
refer to the Mathematics course
entry on page 127.
Fourth Year
• Master’s Project
• Algebraic Number Theory
• Analytic Functions
• Combinatorial Designs
• Continuum Mechanics
• Hydrodynamic Stability Theory
What will this mean for my future?
You will have learned to approach problem solving in unfamiliar and
complex environments, perhaps where your access to information is
limited, and to communicate your conclusions clearly to a range of
audiences including non-mathematicians. These valuable skills are highly
attractive to employers in an extremely wide range of fields.
Your undergraduate Masters degree will also be an excellent springboard
for pursuing further studies at doctoral level.
These programmes are accredited to meet the educational requirements of the
Chartered Mathematician designation awarded by the Institute of Mathematics and
its Applications.
