Mathematics

For mathematics graduates. Programme consists of a wide range of modules and a project. The majority of the eight modules are taken from blocks of pure mathematics and theoretical physics with other options available. Leads to PhD study or careers in investment banks, industrial research.

KEY BENEFITS

• Located in the heart of London.
• An intensive course covering a wide range of basic and advanced topics.
• Intimate class environment with small class sizes (typically fewer than twenty students on a module) allowing good student-lecturer interactions.
• A full twelve-month course with a three-month supervised summer project to give a real introduction to research.

PURPOSEFor Mathematics graduates. Provides basic training for a research degree.

DESCRIPTIONOur programme consists of a wide range of courses and a project. The coursework is organised on a module system. A supervisor assists each student in choosing modules, taking a majority from the two main blocks of Pure Mathematics and Theoretical Physics. You may also choose certain courses from the Financial Mathematics programme.

Pure Mathematics:

• Metric & Banach Spaces
• Fourier Analysis
• Operator Theory
• Lie Groups & Lie Algebras
• Modular Forms
• Algebraic Geometry.

• Quantum Mechanics II
• Quantum Field Theory
• String Theory & Branes
• Supersymmetry
• Advanced General Relativity.

You may also take up to two modules from a wide range of undergraduate topics, eg Real Analysis II; Complex Analysis; Galois Theory; Topology; Special Relativity & Electromagnetism; Linear Control Theory.

You may also take courses at other London colleges subject to approval.
