Wide ranging maths course covering several application areas - mechanics, statistics, numerical analysis, and operational research. Opportunity to specialise at levels 2 and 3. Opportunity to carry out high-quality professional placements. Some students pick up sponsorship from their industrial training placements. Students don't have to decide which mode of study they prefer until after joining the University.
Successful graduates have excellent employment prospects.
The mathematics subjects are concerned in particular with aspects of modern algebra that are related to computer science and also include a considerable amount of numerical analysis of problems in mathematics. So in the later years, for example, you could specialise in the numerical solution of differential equations, which is a particularly important problem in modern mathematical computation. The advanced computer science subjects are likely to include areas such as graphics, image processing and artificial intelligence. An unusual and very valuable feature of the course is the final year project. This is a substantial piece of individual work in an area of study connected with the course, and each student's project is personally supervised by a member of staff.
