BSc (Hons) Mathematics

The Mathematics undergraduate programme at the University of Surrey encourages students to deepen their understanding of fundamental concepts in mathematics while developing effective analytical and problem-solving skills. The course offers a balance of core mathematics and applied maths and focuses on understanding and solving real-world mathematical problems.Course Content: The programme is split across three levels, each building upon the last to provide a broad understanding of mathematical theory. In the first year, students gain a solid foundation in pure and applied maths, probability, and statistics. During the second year, the course becomes more detailed, with emphasis on algebra and calculus. The final year gives students the opportunity to choose from a range of modules that reflect the research strengths of the academic staff and align with students' career aspirations.Key Modules: Some of the key modules students will study include; Algebra 1, Calculus, Linear Algebra and Geometry, Mathematical Methods, and Probabilistic Modeling. Optional modules are available that allow students to focus on areas such as Statistics, Operations Research, Mathematical Finance, and Quantum Mechanics among others in their final year.Accreditations: The BSc Mathematics course is accredited by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications. This accreditation provides students with the opportunity to gain the professional status of Chartered Mathematician once they have gained a certain amount of work experience.Future Careers: Graduates from this course can pursue careers in various sectors including finance, technology, engineering, and even healthcare. The course also equips students with the analytical and problem-solving skills highly sought after in many professional environments, such as operational research, data analysis, and consultancy services.For more information on this course, please visit the official course page.
