We’re one of a few universities in the North West to offer a Mathematics degree which allows you to choose from a range of pure, applied and statistics modules throughout the course. You can opt to study specialist areas such as cryptology, mathematical biology, and fluid dynamics.
This course covers a wide range of mathematical topics, with the chance to shape your degree to your own interests and career aspirations. We ensure that what you learn is interesting, innovative and relevant.
Why study with us
- Our Mathematics provision was ranked in the UK’s top 10 for student satisfaction (Complete University Guide, 2021).
- 91% of students satisfied with the quality of feedback and assessment (Guardian University Guide 2021)
- You’ll be taught in a friendly and encouraging atmosphere, by staff with doctoral research degrees, in small class sizes, so you’ll benefit from expert teaching and lots of support.
Maths degree course
- Every student gets the chance to go on a residential team building course – it’s a great opportunity to get to know other students and build friendships which will last throughout your studies.
- There are opportunities to go on international field trips which have an educational purpose. Previous students have been as far afield as Benin in West Africa, where they visited local schools and attended conferences.
- We’ll help you to develop transferable skills which will help you excel in the world of work – from analytical skills to problem-solving, communication and teamwork.

Course delivery
This course is taught face-to-face at one of our UK campuses.
Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of our published course information. However, our programmes are subject to ongoing review and development. Changing circumstances may cause alteration to, or the cancellation of, courses.

As well as to keep courses updated and contemporary, or as a result of student feedback. We reserve the right to make variations if we consider such action to be necessary or in the best interests of students.
Maths graduate jobs
Employers value the intellectual rigour and reasoning skills that mathematics students acquire, as well as their analytical approach to problem-solving.

My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
