The Department of Mathematics is an international community of scholars, engaged in world-class research. We are committed to excellence in teaching with a special emphasis on small groups and a friendly atmosphere.

Undergraduate students

Academic requirements

You must have an appropriate mathematical background to study in the Department.

Postgraduate students

Academic requirements

You should hold a good undergraduate degree (2:2, 2:1, or first) in Mathematics or related subject.

English language requirements

IELTS: 6.0 with a minimum of 5.5 in each component (the language requirements are part way down this page. The other requirements are not relevant).

For more information see our undergraduate English language requirements or our postgraduate English language requirements.

Choosing your modules

You can view the department’s modules in the module catalogue. To help you get started, we have written a short guide on how to use the module catalogue.

Your module choice and registration will take place during your first supervisory meeting. A learning agreement (if applicable) cannot be signed until this meeting.

Teaching schedule

You can study in our department for the following periods only:

  • Full academic year
  • Semester 1 only
  • Semester 2 only

Examination and assessment

Assessment is mainly by examination during the Common Examination Periods at the end of each semester. In exceptional circumstances, alternative assessment arrangements may be available for semester 1. Please contact the Department of Mathematics if required.
