Register nowMathematics encapsulates ideas of rigour, proof and abstraction. Our degrees are intellectually demanding and the rewards are enormous, both for the understanding of mathematics and its application in other subjects.
The department is the third oldest mathematics department in England. It scored among the top 10 UK Mathematics departments in the last evaluation of research in UK universities (REF 2014). Three of the six British winners of the Fields Medal have been members of the department. Our academic staff are international with a wide range of countries represented, including China, Finland, Germany, Greece, Italy and Russia.
You will be able to choose from modules that range from the most elementary to the most advanced. Our students, past and present, tell us we are friendly and informal and that they really appreciate the personal attention the staff are able to give them. They also report having found the staff's commitment to their subject both infectious and stimulating.
As far as possible, you will be treated the same as the undergraduate students enrolled on our own degree programmes. Teaching is by lecture and tutorial, assessment is by examination and assessed coursework. Our Fall Term modules are available only to Full Year Affiliate students.
Please note that this guide lists a range of popular modules offered as a representative sample. It is not exhaustive and, since the guide is published ahead of time, module options may have changed, been deleted or replaced. If you have very specific study needs or require confirmation of module availability for 2024/25, you are strongly advised to get in touch with the relevant Affiliate contact, listed on this subject page, before making an application.
Prerequisite knowledge will apply to all modules, across a range of breadth and depth. Please consult the Mathematics Department website to ascertain what is required for the module(s) you are interested in, and check with the Affiliate Tutor if you are still uncertain.
