Lay the foundations of a rewarding career with mathematics at its base by undertaking an undergraduate degree at Manchester. We offer a highly flexible degree programme, ensuring you obtain a strong all-round mathematical knowledge while at the same time encouraging you to focus on the areas that appeal most. You will cover core topics in the first year, developing your capacity to learn and apply mathematical ideas. In the second year you then choose two from three themes: Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, and Probability & Statistics, along with other optional units such as Programming with Python. You will understand the significance and power of mathematics and will acquire a thorough knowledge and understanding of the mathematical topics that any employer would expect of a maths graduate. After the first two years, you can choose the areas that interest you most and, from second year onwards, you can even select options from other subject areas. In your final year, you can opt to take on a staff-supervised mathematical project. Mathematics has a rich history at Manchester - our £40 million purpose-built Alan Turing Building, the home of mathematics at Manchester, is named after just one of our famous names - and you could be part of its bright future.
A Level: A*AA | A*AA including A* in Mathematics or Further Mathematics A-level. Further Mathematics is preferred but not essential. When the Further Maths A-level is taken it will be included in the offer. If you do not have the required grades or subjects you may want to consider our integrated foundation year. Practical skills are a crucial part of science education and therefore there will be a requirement to pass the practical element of any science A-level taken. Where applicants are applying for science and related degrees, this is likely to be made explicit in the offers you will receive. Applicants taking A-levels are normally expected to offer three full A-levels. If you’re taking more than three A-levels, any offer will be based on three A-levels, and any additional A-levels won’t be included in your offer. Any offer will normally be based on three A-levels taken in the same sitting and based on your qualification portfolio. Your offer will stipulate which subjects and the grades required. Please check for specific GCSE/IGCSE subject entry requirements. Typical Contextual Offer: A*AB including A* in Mathematics A-level or AAA including AA in Mathematics and Further Mathematics A-level.
