About the course

Group sizes are relatively small with an average of about 20 students per class so you will receive excellent support and attention from teaching staff.

During your studies you are not required to specialise in any particular aspect or application of mathematics, though there is an opportunity to do so if desired.

Additional topics included on the course, which you will study mainly during your final year, have been chosen because they introduce you to areas of current interest and lead you naturally towards research topics.
