Course Overview

The BSc (Hons) Applied Mathematics at The University of Edinburgh is a undergraduate programme designed for students passionate about solving complex problems. Based in Edinburgh, Scotland, this Russell Group university offers a research-led approach to learning, with a 4-year full-time structure.

Through being introduced to new mathematical concepts not explored at school level, you will develop a rigorous mindset, and by the end of your programme, you will specialise in an area of your particular mathematical interest. This new way of approaching and analysing complex problems is a particularly valuable skill, and will serve you well throughout your degree programme and beyond. International tuition fees are £29,600 per year, home/UK fees are £9,790 per year, and a minimum IELTS score of 6.5 is required for admission. Graduates from this programme benefit from strong career prospects, with a median graduate salary of £31,000 within three years, a 90% continuation rate, and 75% of graduates in employment or further study.
