This structure means that most individual subject modules are not unique to any particular degree.
We are also very active at postgraduate level, offering Mathematics MSc courses and research opportunities in many areas. External grants and contracts with industry and government establishments support much of our research Ð keeping us right at the 'cutting edge' and actively in contact with modern uses of mathematics.
