As well as developing subject-specific skills in numerical analysis and mathematical modelling (which are applicable in areas as diverse as the biosciences, the finance sector and engineering), this programme will develop valuable transferable skills, including IT skills, an ability to tackle problems logically and efficiently and communication skills. The focus is on applied and computational mathematics.
This programme has been designed to allow students with as wide a range of previous experiences as possible to embark upon postgraduate study in Mathematics. Our modular programme can offer different combinations of modules to different students, and we welcome students who would like to try one or two modules to build up confidence before embarking on the whole programme.
We recognise that many graduates have studied mathematics; some as a single honours subject, but others within a BA or BSc combined honours degree. Alternatively, students of physics, chemistry or engineering study significant areas of mathematics, as do some students of psychology, economics and general degrees. This modular programme is designed to cater for the needs of all these graduates, and to provide a route suited to their own professional education and training needs.

Programme Structure
The main advantage of this programme structure is that students may enrol on the programme first, and commit to the final award when they are ready to do so. Many students test their confidence through studying individual modules before determining a longer term plan.
While some modules focus on developing further mathematical theory, others focus on industrial and commercial applications. A number of modules have been highlighted as being particularly relevant to students wishing to specialise in Industrial Mathematics.
Listed below are some of our most popular module choices:
* Mathematical Modelling
* Differential Equations and their Applications
* Integral Equations
* ICT for Mathematics Research
* Numerical Linear Algebra
* Functional Analysis
* Calculus of Variations
* Classical Newtonian Mechanics
* Difference Equations
* Delay Differential Equations and Dynamical Systems
For students interested in Statistics, we offer:
* Statistical Methodologies in Applied Research
The focus of the research work within the department is on numerical analysis, computational mathematics and the novel application of computer software tools to the solution of mathematical problems, especially those relating to mathematical biology. We anticipate that research projects leading to the award of MSc Mathematics will normally fall within these areas.
Assessment
Assessment will be through a combination of coursework and examination.
