Join a university ranked in the UK top five for mathematics research (*THE* analysis of REF 2021) with an excellent reputation for teaching and learning (6th in the UK for maths, Complete University Guide by subject 2026). If you're driven by intellectual curiosity and enjoy the satisfaction of cracking difficult puzzles, this course offers a rigorous foundation in mathematics that will help you stand out to top employers. Studying abroad in Europe fosters language skills and intellectual growth as well as developing your breadth of perspective. As you progress through your degree, you will have increasing flexibility to shape it to your own interests and skills, whether they be in pure or applied mathematics, mathematical physics, statistics and probability, or a mixture. You may choose to learn about topics as varied as quantum mechanics, financial risk management or number theory. Our lecturers are passionate about their subject, with modules informed by cutting-edge research. In your final year, there is the opportunity for project work supervised by one of our world-leading experts, which may inspire you to pursue further study. A lot of support is available, academically through scheduled problem classes and informal drop-in sessions, and pastorally through our tutors and Senior Tutor team.
