MMath Master of Mathematics (with a Year in Australia)

This prestigious four-year Master of Mathematics programme allows greater depth of study than is possible in a three-year course. The third year of the programme is spent learning Mathematics at an Australian University.

A special feature is a research-led, individually supervised project in the final year. This programme extends Mathematical knowledge to a higher level than the three year BSc programme (G100). It further consolidates and strengthens the employability skills needed for a progressional career, including report writing skills and oral presentation skills. Spending a year abroad advertises to potential employers qualities of independence, self-organisation, and an ability to adapt to new cultures and a foreign environment. The programme is also excellent preparation for a career in research, either in industry or in a University. The first three years of study run parallel with the BSc programme (G100) enabling students to transfer between the programmes subject to academic performance. In the first year you will study the main strands of algebra and calculus, along with statistics and computing for mathematicians. A greater degree of flexibility is offered in Years 2 and 3 enabling you to choose options best suited to your growing interests. In the final year, one-third of your time will be spent undertaking an individual research project, enabling you to experience the challenge of independent study and the thrill of discovery. The remaining two-thirds of the final year will be spent studying a range of Master’s level units alongside our postgraduate students. Progression on this programme is subject to academic performance each year and students who do not meet the required standard may be required to transfer to the three-year BSc programme.

Mathematics is an exciting and challenging subject that plays a central role in many aspects of modern life. When you listen to a CD, watch a weather forecast, use a mobile phone, or surf the internet, you are benefiting from sophisticated mathematical ideas.

Mathematics provides the language and techniques to handle the problems from many disciplines. Mathematics is also studied for its own sake: it has a beauty and structure of its own, built upon thousands of years of invention and discovery.

Mathematics is often demanding but it can also be fun, especially when you are learning in good company. At UEA you will be lectured by, and get to know, world-authorities in many branches of Mathematics research. UEA is a modern institution and we pride ourselves on our friendliness. Students come here from across the UK and from overseas. Their company will enrich your time and studies through firm friendships and lasting attachments.

The School of Mathematics at UEA is recognised internationally for its strong research and teaching. The School of Mathematics has achieved an excellent performance in each of the last Research Assessment Exercises, dating back to 1996. We have strong research links and collaboration with mathematicians throughout Europe, Israel, Russia, the United States and Australia. Our teaching is highly regarded by our graduating students. In the National Student Survey we have been consistently in the top six mathematics departments in the country.

If you finish your studies with distinction you may want to join our active group of postgraduate students and study for a PhD degree. Research is just one of the wide range of careers open to a mathematician. The span of professions ranges from business communications to flying jets; from modelling and industrial design to interpreting the economy; from charting a business' fortunes to forecasting the weather.

Amongst other things, our graduates finish with a wider critical imagination and a deeper knowledge of our very beautiful subject and its applications. A Mathematics degree will launch you towards many new professional worlds.
