Mathematics enhances your ability to think clearly, learn new ideas quickly, manipulate precise and intricate concepts, follow complex reasoning, construct logical arguments and expose dubious ones. Our challenging Mathematics (BSc) degree will harness your strong mathematical ability and commitment, enabling you to explore your passion for mathematics.
Our challenging degrees will harness your strong mathematical ability and commitment, enabling you to explore your passion for mathematics.
You will be taught by world-leading researchers in a supportive environment, where learning spaces – including breakout areas and common spaces – are all geared towards you sharing, collaborating and exploring your academic curiosity with like-minded peers.
Pure mathematics modules combine the work of some of the world’s greatest thinkers, while applied mathematics addresses real-world problems in physics, biology, data science, climate science and finance. Many third and fourth year (fourth year for MMath only) modules offer glimpses of the latest research.
Important information
We are planning to make some exciting changes to our Mathematics (BSc/MMath) degree for 2027/28 entry. We continually review our curricula to reflect developments in the relevant disciplines to deliver the best educational experience, integrating transferable and employability skills through our degrees to improve our graduate outcomes. The core and optional modules will undergo approval through the University's rigorous academic processes. As modules are approved, we will update the course information on this webpage. It is therefore very important that you check this webpage for the latest information before you apply and prior to accepting an offer. Sign up to receive updates.
Entry requirements
General entry requirements
All applicants will typically be required to take TMUA except for applicants who are eligible for a Contextual Offer – see our Contextual Offers webpage to check your eligibility.
Scores in TMUA will be assessed alongside other factors (including GCSEs, Contextual indicators and predicted grades) to determine which applicants receive an offer.
We set the threshold for TMUA as we receive TMUA results and applications throughout the admissions cycle. We release decisions in batches and will begin releasing decisions from November onwards following the October sitting of TMUA. The final TMUA threshold is set in around April, once we have reviewed all applications received at the UCAS equal consideration deadline in January. In the last admissions cycle, the majority of offers were made to applicants with a TMUA score of 5.0 and above. Some offers were made to applicants with a score below 5.0 after a holistic assessment of their overall profile.
Grade 2 in STEP will be a requirement of offers to applicants who have not taken TMUA - except for applicants who are eligible for a Contextual Offer.
For further details including test dates and how to register for TMUA, please see the TMUA at Warwick webpage.

Do you offer foundation programmes?
All students who successfully complete the Warwick International Foundation Programme (IFP) and apply to Warwick through UCAS will receive a guaranteed conditional offer for a related undergraduate programme, for selected courses only. Further details are available in the standard offer and conditions for the IFP.
Can I take a gap year before starting my course?
Yes, Warwick welcomes applications for deferred (gap year) entry.
Will I need to interview for this course?
Warwick does not typically interview applicants. Offers are made based on the UCAS application, including predicted and achieved grades, the personal statement, and the school reference.
Our degree programme consists of core and optional modules. In core modules, you will study essential topics in algebra, analysis and applied mathematics. Optional modules cover the entire range of mathematical sciences, including algebra, combinatorics, number theory, geometry, topology, pure and applied analysis, differential equations, and applications to physical, biological and data sciences.
There are core modules in the first and second years of study. The third year comprises solely of optional modules.
At Warwick, our wide range of options enables you to explore in depth your love of mathematics, while the flexible system allows you to explore other subjects you enjoy outside of mathematics (as much as 50% of the third year can be in modules from outside the mathematics department).

Fees and funding
Tuition fee
£9,790
On 26 November 2025, the UK government announced that the tuition fee cap for UK undergraduate students for the 2026-27 academic year would increase to £9,790 from the 2025-26 rate of at £9,535.
Students who qualify for government-regulated fees are classed as ‘Home’ students for fees purposes. In future years, fees for continuing students may be subject to an increase in fees in line with any inflationary uplift as determined by the UK Government (if permitted by law or government policy).
We carry out an initial fee status assessment based on the information you provide in your application. Students will be classified as Home or Overseas fee status. Your fee status determines tuition fees, and what financial support and scholarships may be available. If you receive an offer, your fee status will be clearly stated alongside the tuition fee information.
If you believe that your fee status has been classified incorrectly, you can complete a fee status assessment questionnaire. Please follow the instructions in your offer information and provide the documents needed to reassess your status.
You will repay your loan or loans gradually once you are working and earning above a certain amount. For students starting their course after 1 August 2023 (on Student Finance England’s Plan 5), you will repay when your income is over £25,000 a year.
Repayments will be taken directly from your salary if you are an employee. If your income falls below the earnings threshold or you stop working, your repayments will stop until your income goes back up above this figure.

Teaching and learning
Most of our teaching is through lectures delivered by a member of academic staff.
Undergraduates usually take four or five modules in each of Term One and Term Two. Term Three is mostly for revision and examinations. Each module is usually taught in three one-hour lectures per week.
In your first year, you meet your supervisor (a graduate student or final-year undergraduate) weekly to discuss the course material and go over submitted work. In your second and third years, most modules are accompanied by weekly support classes. Your personal tutor provides a further layer of learning and pastoral support via regular tutorials in your first and second years.
Lectures vary from 10 to 500. Supervisions and tutorials are typically in groups of five.
Typical contact hours across lectures, seminars, supervisions etc: 18 hours/week during Term One and Term Two (15 hours of lectures and 3 hours of supervisions, problem classes and tutorials).
Most modules are assessed by 85% exam and 15% homework, or by 100% exam. Mathematics by Computer is assessed via Python programming assignments.
The Second Year Essay is assessed on the basis of a report and oral presentation.
Years One, Two and Three are weighted 10:30:60.
We encourage students to consider spending Year Three at one of 23 European partner universities in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Spain and Switzerland.

Finding experience to boost your CV in Year One and Two
Careers in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence
Our Student Opportunity (Careers) department offer a wide range of workshops, from developing confidence and interview techniques to learning how to articulate what you have to offer in order to impress potential employers. Online resources are also available, including training in drafting CVs and covering letters, practice aptitude and psychometric tests, practice online interviews, and other resources to help you research job opportunities. The myAdvantage databaseLink opens in a new window also advertises job, placement and internship vacancies that are from employers who are targeting Warwick students for their recruitment.
After Year Two, students can take a year’s placement to experience mathematics in action. The job must be deemed to provide learning experiences related to the degree course. A satisfactory placement leads to the award of a ‘BSc with Intercalated Year’ (and often to a potential job offer after graduation). We encourage you to speak to our Student Opportunity team for advice relating to finding a placement.
