Course content

From the ancient cultures of Greece, Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, China and beyond, to the modern era and across the globe, mathematics has played and continues to play a central role in all aspects of the advancement of society. The subject remains at the heart of science and those who study mathematics find it immensely rewarding.

In our experience, candidates will usually pursue a mathematics degree at masters level for one or more of the following reasons:

Many students undertake our MSc for the purpose of further enhancing their career prospects 
Others see it as a crucial staging post on the path towards a PhD 
Some approach the subject on account of the intellectual excitement and pleasure that it can bring as mathematics purely for the sake of mathematics.

All of these are valid reasons for pursuing our MSc, which has been designed to satisfy the needs of candidates with any of these goals in mind.
