The first two years of this course provide a background in mathematical analysis, computing and general engineering, within the overall context of mathematical and data modelling. You will also gain experience in practical problem-solving and teamwork, as well as an introduction to professional practice. These skills will form the basis of the later years of study. For the final year of your degree, you can choose from a wide range of specialist options from across engineering, mathematics, data science, mathematical biology and artificial intelligence to fit your interests. You will be taught by some of the leaders of research in these topics. A major focus of the course and a key strand throughout the curriculum is real-world problem solving, spanning many different application areas from robotics and social media to medicine and environmental modelling. In your final year you will continue group modelling studies applied to fresh problems of current concern to our industrial or external collaborators; a chance to contribute to the cutting edge of research into a topic of interest to the wider stakeholders of our degree. These projects will hone your skills in mathematical and data modelling and provide you with the professional skills that will prepare you for your future career. This course is currently undergoing its scheduled five-year re-accreditation process with the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA). It has previously been accredited by IMA. The outcome of the current review is expected by 2026.
