Before you apply - are you ready?

If you are considering applying, please bear in mind that the material in our master's courses is challenging. It stretches our best undergraduate students who have taken the first three years of our demanding MMath degree. If you do not already have the necessary mathematical background, the demands are such that there will be little time to catch up. If you do not feel well enough prepared for this challenge consider the 2 year option. While the second year matches the one year MSc, you can use the first year to take some additional math modules to strengthen your background.

For a good indication of the expected mathematical level that you should have reached before enrolling, we recommend that you study the handbook for our fourth year UG students. Each module listed there provides information about both assumed knowledge and useful background.
