Mathematics (Diploma plus MSc) (2022 Entry)
If you see yourself as a research mathematician of the future, this course may appeal to you. For enthusiastic mathematicians, it is a chance to further develop your knowledge if you already have an undergraduate Mathematics, Physics or Statistics degree. If your academic background is not in these areas, this course could still appeal if you are a strong mathematician looking for a return to formal education.
Your studies will include a mix of lecture-based modules and independent research. The Diploma + MSc option gives you the opportunity to work on a project in your first year before you progress to your dissertation in the second year.

Optional modules
A wide selection of the optional modules is offered in both pure and applied mathematics.
A two-year MSc exists in both Mathematics and Interdisciplinary Mathematics with separate regulations.
Each student registered for a two-year MSc produces a plan of study before the beginning of their second term in consultation with their supervisor and the Director of MSc Studies. This plan should include a statement of the basis for assessment of a student’s progress during the first year and the weighting to be given to the various modules taken over the two years.
Class size header
The class sizes for this course vary between 20 and 70 students.
Contact hours header
Contact hours for this course will vary between 12 and 14 hours each week.
Assessment header
Before the beginning of the second year, you submit a project worth which will be marked by the supervisor and a second marker. The project will contribute to the first year mark. An average of 60% including the module and project marks is required to proceed to the second year. However, the first year project will not contribute to the final mark at the end of the second year.
The second year dissertation may be a continuation of the first year project, but the same material cannot be used in both.
