The BSc Mathematics and Statistics, MMath is offered by the University of Leeds.

There are two degree options: the BSc, which is a three year course, and the MMath, a four year course. The MMath is an ÔIntegrated MastersÕ degree, which combines bachelors and masters level study. On successful completion you are awarded a single degree with the letters ÔMMath, BScÕ.

The BSc degree is an excellent degree covering a broad range of mathematical topics but if you are interested in learning more about mathematics, closer to the frontiers of research, or if you want to use mathematics at a higher level in your career, the MMath could be right for you.

The first year of study contains an introduction to all the main areas of mathematics and statistics, similar to the Mathematics degree. This allows you to change into mathematics or mathematical studies should interests or career plans change.In the second year, having gained a firm grounding, students take a number of core modules on mathematical and statistical techniques and have a wide choice of modules including algebra, geometry, logic, analysis.

The statistical modules cover topical subjects such as environmental statistics, as well as core statistical methods.

The third and fourth years, at least half your modules will be in statistics, but you have the freedom to study a wide variety of options, including modules from pure and applied Mathematics. We currently have over 40 final level modules to choose from. If you take the MMath degree, you also have the change to study a range of specially devised masters level modules. There is also a project, worth at least a quarter of your final year credit, in which you get to work one-to-one with a memeber of staff on a specialised area that interests you the most.
