A student's view

“My time at Warwick has been challenging yet highly rewarding. I was anxious about going from a more applied undergraduate degree to a master’s in pure mathematics, but the two-year programme at Warwick allowed me the time and space I needed to flourish academically. I’ve met some incredible people and made many wonderful memories, and I will always cherish my time here!”

Aram, Mathematics (Diploma plus MSc)
