Mathematics Degree

The Mathematics degree| is a well-established and popular course which traditionally recruits a good mix of students both full-time and part-time. The group sizes are not large, averaging about 20 students. This, together with the care and attention of the lecturing staff, generally results in high achievement.

The degree gives a broad general education in mathematics, with a sound coverage of the essential core of the subject. It also includes work in those parts of the subject which staff and students find intriguing and fascinating. The degree develops skills in abstract logical reasoning and problem solving.

Access to Higher Education: Mathematics (Polymaths)

Polymaths| is designed for those students who have had a limited mathematical education. It is a one year part-time course with lectures two evenings a week. The group sizes are not large, averaging about 20 students, and the teaching is relatively informal.

Successful students achieve the equivalent of a good A-level standard in pure mathematics. The course is assessed continuously by tests done in your own time. It is a substantial course and requires a high commitment of time in addition to the lectures. The assessments are set to standards laid down by the Institute of Mathematics.
