The modules on this programme have been developed to give you a thorough preparation for a range of related undergraduate degrees.

Pure Mathematics
In the Pure Maths module you will develop skills in building, applying and reviewing mathematical models and techniques to analyse mathematical problems. You will learn which models to use in a variety of relevant topics and the limitations of models in the context of the real world. Throughout the duration of the module, you will develop your ability to reason logically and recognise incorrect reasoning, to generalise and to construct mathematical proofs, as well as being able to communicate effectively in a mathematical context.

Statistics and Further Mathematics
This module focuses on developing your skills in building, applying and reviewing statistical and further maths models and techniques to analyse practical problems. You will develop your understanding of statistical and further maths concepts and processes so that you become confident in their use and application. By the end of the module you will be able to use statistical and further mathematics principles in the analysis and solution of real world problems in the sciences and engineering.

Scientific Programming and Mathematical Modelling (Half Module)
On our Scientific Programming and Mathematical Modelling (SPAMM) module you will develop an understanding of the basic principles of mathematical models, and using this understanding will be able to take a real-life problem and make the necessary assumptions to translate it into a mathematical model. You will also learn to formulate mathematical problems, identify suitable algorithms to solve them and implement them in a Python program.

Introduction to Interdisciplinary Mathematics (Half Module)
This module aims to provide an interdisciplinary introduction to the applications of mathematics. Beginning with a consideration of mathematics as a universal language, you will explore how maths is used across a wide range of disciplines from the art and humanities to the social and natural sciences. The module will consider a range of topics, looking at how maths enables us to create and explain the world around us. Themes typically explored may include the hidden maths in great art; maths in human and natural design; forecasting and assessing risk, navigation, security and forensic sciences.

Our Inquiry and Research Skills for Mathematics is a core module on this course, and is delivered in two parts to complement your other modules. The first part of this module looks at developing core research and inquiry skills including academic searching, using sources, teamwork, reflection and problem based learning inquiries. The second part of the module allows you to put everything you have learnt into practice through a research based project.

All students will also study an English for Academic Purposes module. This module is not about developing your conversational or everyday English skills; instead, it will develop your Academic English skills. You will consider how academic essays should be written, including looking at appropriate referencing and paraphrasing, as well as thinking about how presentations should be delivered in an academic context.
