Mathematics and statistics undergraduate courses
We offer a range of mathematics and statistics degrees. They include opportunities to study abroad, complete a year-long work placement or combine your maths degree with another subject – from finance to philosophy to French.
MMath or BSc?
MMath options come with a final year of research training, where you'll work with a professional mathematician on an unanswered question in mathematics. They're the best route for students who are thinking about a career in mathematics research.
Flexibility
All of our courses cover topics across pure mathematics, applied mathematics, probability and statistics – knowledge that every mathematician needs for a successful career. Some courses have more compulsory modules, so you can develop specialist knowledge.
But there’s always flexibility to choose from a wide range of optional modules too, so you can tailor your degree to your interests, your career goals and the problems you want to help solve.
Placement years
All of our mathematics and statistics courses offer the option of a one-year work placement, which you can opt to do after you start your degree. Alternatively, you can apply directly to the BSc Mathematics with Placement Year course through UCAS.
