Course summary

Our BSc Mathematics (including Foundation Year) could be suitable for you if your academic qualifications do not yet meet our entry requirements for a three-year version of our computer science, electronic engineering and mathematics courses and you want a programme that improves your skills to support your academic performance.

Open to UK and EU applicants, this four-year course includes a Foundation Year (known as Year Zero) which is delivered by our Essex Pathways Department followed by a further three years of study in our School of Mathematics, Statistics and Actuarial Science.

During Year Zero you will study on our Computer Science, Electronic Engineering and Mathematics Pathway which will cover topics such as statistical analysis and modelling, and computer programming. At the end of Year Zero all students who pass the Computer Science, Electronic Engineering and Mathematics Pathway will have a choice of which course to progress with. As well as BSc Mathematics, students on the Computer Science, Electronic Engineering and Mathematics Pathway could also study BSc Computer Science, BSc Computer Games or BEng Electronic Engineering.

Mathematics provides the logical foundations on which all of science, engineering and technology are built. From Year One of BSc Mathematics you will have the chance to study both fundamental topics and their modern applications, including:

Pure mathematics, including geometry, algebra, analysis and number theory

Applied topics such as mathematical physics, cryptography, mathematical modelling, differential equations and dynamical systems

Statistical, financial and analytical methods such as optimisation and the study of risk

As well as these mathematical topics, your degree will develop your programming skills in languages such as Python and SQL, and you will learn to solve sophisticated problems using computational toolkits such as Matlab, Maple and R.

Our School recognises the stand-alone and interdisciplinary aspects of mathematics, and your degree provides an exceptional range of in-demand transferrable skills for mathematically oriented careers, from business, to finance and commerce, industry, research, government, education and beyond. All our mathematical sciences degrees feature an employability component in every year, explicitly training sought-after skills and incorporating careers day events and seminars from speakers in industry.
