Mathematics BSc (Hons)

COURSE INFORMATION (2010 ENTRY)

3 years full-time or 4 years sandwich

School of Computing, Engineering and Information Sciences
Ellison Building, Newcastle City Campus

If you're interested in developing your mathematical talents and learning how to apply maths and statistics to real life problems, then this program will give you an enjoyable route to becoming a mathematics graduate. It focuses on showing you how to apply a range of maths tools and get results rather than just cover the abstract theoretical parts of mathematics that some other courses take. This seems to work well with our students as we recently scored 100% student satisfaction in the Guardian’s University Guide 2011!

By the end of the course, you’ll have developed a range of skills that employers appreciate and so, be ready to enter the workplace and contribute very quickly. You can choose to go on placement in your third year for a full 48-week placement and earn money in a real job while receiving the full support of the School throughout the year. In your final year, you can specialise in areas such as cryptography, medical statistics or fluid dynamics and can dig even deeper with a project lasting the full year. The course is taught in small groups where appropriate, which ensures active participation and individual attention and means that you have the best chance of fulfilling your potential. You will also benefit from the enhanced facilities, including 24-hour open access to our computing facilities and library and wireless access throughout the campus.
