Applied Mathematics

About this programme

The MMath (Hons) in Applied Mathematics will teach you to understand complex patterns and structures, and develop the tools with which to analyse them. Whether these patterns relate to physical or biological phenomena or the structure of mathematics itself, the primary aim is to describe, categorise, and understand the processes involved. Students of Applied Mathematics will specifically focus on real-world applications of mathematics, applying their tools to solve problems in fields as diverse as biology, astrophysics, and finance. The MMath allows you to combine undergraduate and postgraduate study into a single five-year programme, graduating with a Masters degree. The MMath in Applied Mathematics is accredited by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications . The MMath (Hons) in Applied Mathematics is a five-year Integrated Masters course run by the School of Mathematics and Statistics. The course offers advanced study of mathematics at postgraduate level during your final year, allowing you to graduate with a Masters degree. In the first two years, you will develop and reinforce your basic mathematical skills and refresh familiar material (for example, complex numbers, matrices, vectors, differential equations) in preparation for more specialist study at Honours level. Alongside Applied Mathematics, in the first year of your studies you will be required to study up to two additional subjects. In the second year, students only take mathematics modules.
