MATHEMATICS BAY CAMPUS

Mathematics is one of the most timeless and international disciplines, forming the foundations upon which the modern world is built. Contemporary science and business are underpinned by mathematics, and our degrees reflect this connection with industry. As you progress, your developing mathematical abilities will be combined with transferable skills which are vital to securing employment in a range of industries.

Our mathematics degrees cover a broad base of classical and modern mathematics. We offer a range of modules covering pure and applied mathematics and all honours students complete a dissertation in an area of their choice in the final year. In all our schemes you will learn to use logical reasoning, construct rigorous arguments and develop your communication skills. You will be taught in our £32.5m Computational Foundry Building which provides the most up-to-date and high-quality teaching facilities. These include a dedicated Mathematics Reading Room, at the heart of the department, for students to study in.
