Our MSc Mathematics delves into the fascinating, challenging and elegant world of mathematics; taking your skillset and knowledge base from a BSc in Mathematics (or similar) towards a point where you can embark on original research in pure and applied mathematics.
The course consists of a mixture of taught modules in pure and applied mathematics, self-study modules which build skills crucial for both a research degree and the workplace, and a dissertation, which allows you to research mathematics under the guidance of experienced, research active academics.
This one year degree is the ideal preparation if you want to go on to do a PhD, work in research or for a technological company. You will gain a deeper understanding of mathematics and develop skills in demand by a range of prospective employers.
In order to be considered for an offer for this programme you will need to meet all of the entry requirements. Your application will not be progressed if the information and evidence listed is not provided.
With your online application you will need to provide:
A copy of your degree certificate and transcripts which show you have achieved a 2:1 honours degree in a relevant subject area such as mathematics or a related discipline with a strong mathematical component, covering basics of real analysis and linear algebra, or an equivalent international degree. If your degree certificate or result is pending, please upload any interim transcripts or provisional certificates.
A copy of your IELTS certificate with an overall score of 6.5 with 5.5 in all subskills, or evidence of an accepted equivalent. Please include the date of your expected test if this qualification is pending. If you have alternative acceptable evidence, such as an undergraduate degree studied in the UK, please supply this in place of an IELTS.

Specialist numerical skills and logical and analytical thought are qualities in demand across a range of stimulating and rewarding careers. There is a high demand for mathematicians across a range of sectors such as the oil and nuclear industries, medicine and IT, as well as many forms of engineering and different government departments. Further study at Masters level can be useful for some maths-related careers such as operational research, medical statistics in pharmaceutical companies, meteorology, engineering design, finance, investment banking, actuarial science and IT-based roles. Government agencies such as the Office of National Statistics and the Meteorological Office also provide employment opportunities for Mathematics graduates.
If you prefer to continue on a more academic career pathway, you may choose to continue your studies with a PhD.
