GradDip
The Open University - Faculty of Mathematics, Computing and Technology
You don't need a specialist mathematics background to be an effective maths teacher. This professional development diploma course equips you with the subject knowledge and teaching techniques required to teach all key stages.
MSc / PGDip / PGCert / PGCE
The Open University - Department of Mathematics and Statistics
The MSc in Mathematics course has been designed for students who want to continue their mathematics studies by delving more deeply into particular aspects of pure and applied mathematics. The modules may well be of interest to mathematically inclined scientists and engineers as well as to mathematicians.
MSc / PGCE
The Open University - Faculty of Science
This MSc course offers an opportunity to examine some of contemporary science's most pressing issues and to develop a wide range of skills associated with masters-level study. You can choose any of the current modules within the postgraduate science programme, which means that you can tailor this MSc to suit your own interests.
MSc
The Open University - Faculty of Science
The MSc in Professional Science is an innovative masters degree course designed to allow you to pursue advanced training in science, while simultaneously developing business and workplace skills highly valued by employers. This qualification enables you to explore scientific topics at postgraduate level and also have an interest in how science relates to the world of business.

The History of Mathematics Group conducts internationally recognised work in several areas of the history of modern mathematics, and collaborates with many historians of mathematics in Europe. A long-running interest in celestial mechanics has recently led to an investigation of the network of astronomers in the years around 1900, and an overlapping international project on the role of mathematics and mathematicians in the First World War.
PhD / MPhil
The Open University - Department of Mathematics and Statistics
Research in applied mathematics covers a broad range of topics and includes work at the highest level in several areas, including technical and pedagogical aspects of communicating and teaching mathematics. The group has strengths in areas of theoretical physics relating to solid-state physics, statistical physics, and quantum physics.
PhD / MPhil
The Open University - Department of Mathematics and Statistics
The Pure Mathematics Group is highly respected and has world-renowned researchers in the areas of Analysis and Geometry, and Combinatorics. Analysis is the study of limiting processes as applied to sets and functions; geometry is the study of the properties of Space, and includes fractals, hyperbolic geometry and topology.

Bayesian statistics is a major area of endeavour which is at the forefront of practical statistics thanks to Markov Chain Monte Carlo computational methods. Members of the Bayesian Statistics Research Group work on: Bayesian dynamic graphical models for multivariate forecasting; traffic networks; expert calibration; combination of subjective probabilities; model selection; graphical modelling of space-time processes; model uncertainty; Bayesian methods for branching processes; applications of Bayesian methodology to infectious diseases; elicitation of prior distributions; misclassified binary data; multivariate meta analysis; Bayesian methodology in ecology; Bayesian networks and forecasting in the aviation industry; and case-control studies.
PhD / MPhil
The Open University - Department of Mathematics and Statistics
Distribution theory includes the generation and study of new models for data. To make work on distributions of practical use, it is important to consider questions concerning statistical inference for such distributions along with the role, interpretation and appropriateness of any proposed non-standard families of distributions for data.
PhD / MPhil
The Open University - Department of Mathematics and Statistics
Medical statistics is a major area of statistical endeavour, and has had a considerable influence on clinical medicine and public health through applications - for instance, to the design and analysis of clinical trials and the epidemiology of chronic and infectious diseases. Members of the Medical Statistics Research Group have carried out research in areas such as statistical methods for psychology and medicine, including meta-analysis and analysis of case-control studies, and on the epidemiology of infectious diseases.
