A special feature is a research-led, individually supervised project in the final year. This programme extends mathematical knowledge to a higher level than the three year BSc Programme (G100). It further consolidates and strengthens the employability skills needed for a professional career, including report writing skills and oral presentation skills. The programme is also excellent preparation for a career in research, either in industry or in a University. The first three years of study run parallel with the BSc programme (G100) enabling students to transfer between the programmes subject to academic performance. In the first year you will study the main strands of algebra and calculus, along with statistics and computing for mathematicians. A greater degree of flexibility is offered in Years 2 and 3 enabling you to choose options best suited to your growing interests. In the final year, one-third of your time will be spent undertaking an individual research project, enabling you to experience the challenge of independent study and the thrill of discovery. The remaining two-thirds of the final year will be spent studying a range of Master’s level units alongside our postgraduate students. Progression on this programme is subject to academic performance each year and students who do not meet the required standard may be required to transfer to the three-year BSc programme.
