Programme specification:

The programme will aim to:
- introduce students to the major branches of mathematics and statistics;
- meet the needs of students with varied mathematical and statistical backgrounds and with different aspirations within
mathematics and statistics;
- enable the student to appreciate the coherence, logical structure, and broad applicability of mathematics and statistics;
- impart an awareness of the values of research and scholarship in mathematicsand statistics;
- accustom students to the use of tools, including libraries and computers, that are available to mathematicians and
statisticians;
- provide a thorough training in the intellectual skills and advanced techniques of modern mathematics and statistics;
- develop the ability of students to abstract and generalize, to model various phenomena, and to interpret numerical data;
- enable future mathematicians and statisticians to develop the skills associated with problem solving, rigorous argument
and communication;
- educate new mathematicians and statisticians to meet the needs of employers, including those in industry, finance,
education and the public services;
- broaden and deepen the mathematical and statistical background of students;
- prepare students to work in fields where specific and broadly based advanced mathematical and statistical knowledge is
required;
- enable students to embark on research in some area of mathematics and statistics;
- give students the opportunity to experience a wide and deep mathematics and statistics curriculum;
- give students the chance to undertake a substantial project.

Year4 - View timetable

[Learning Outcomes, Transferable (Key) Skills, Assessment]

Students must enrol on exactly 120 or 125 credits in each academic year.

Students must take 120 pr 125 credits of Level 5M modules, including at least 40 credits of Level 5M Mathematics (not Statistics) and at least 40 credits of Level 5M Statistics modules.

In order to qualify for the degree, in addition to the usual degree rules, students must pass at least 40 credits of Level 5M Mathematics (not Statistics) modules and at least 40 credits of Level 5M Statistics modules. COMP5940M counts as a Mathematics module for this purpose.

Optional modules:

Student must choose at least 100 credits from Lists A and B with:
- at least 40 credits from List A; if students enrol on MATH3001, they need to enrol on at least 60 credits from List A;
- at least 40 credits from List B.

List A.

List B.

Additional Modules may be chosen from List C, as well as Discovery modules.

List C.

Discovery modules:

Students may take up to 10 credits of discovery modules at Level 5M.

Module choices are subject to approval by the Programme Manager.

Students may take up to 20 credits of discovery modules at Level 2, 3 or 5M, including Mathematics modules and Level 1 Skills modules. Over the final 2 years of the programmes at most 20 credits of Level 1 Skills Discovery modules or Level 2 modules may be chosen.
Students may take up to 10 credits of discovery modules at Level 5M.
In order to qualify for the degree, in addition to the usual degree rules, student must pass at least 80 credits of level 3 and 5M Mathematics (not Statistics) modules including at least 40 credits at level 5M, and at least 80 credits of level 3 and 5M Statistics modules including at least 40 credits at level 5M. (EDUC3060, COMP3910, COMP3940, COMP5940M count as a Mathematics and EPIB3036 counts as a Statistics module for this purpose.)
Module choices are subject to approval by the Programme Manager.
