You can study a range of topics such as mathematical logic, algebra and geometry, or applications to other areas, such as engineering, computing, physics or finance.There are two degree options offered by the University of Leeds: the BSc, which is a three year course, and the MMath, BSc a four year course.Many students choose to do the BSc Mathematics degree, 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.
In most cases, it doesnÕt matter which you apply for: both have the same entry requirements and the first two years are identical. If you donÕt yet know which one you want to do, we suggest you apply for the MMath, as it will be straightforward to transfer to the BSc later if you wish.
The first year of study contains an introduction to all the main areas of mathematics. In the second year there are a number of core modules plus a wide choice from many aspects of mathematics (e.g. algebra, geometry, logic, analysis, fluid dynamics and relativity). The third year is devoted to advanced courses chosen from pure mathematics, applied mathematics and statistics, and to projects.
