Objectives
Both the BSc and MMath courses combine subjects from a range of engineering disciplines with an education in mathematics to honours degree level, where an emphasis is placed on using mathematics in practical situations. The first two years combine a study of core foundational modules in mathematics with options that include technical and management-related modules in engineering. In subsequent years, modules are chosen from a wide variety of topics in mathematics and engineering according to your particular interests.

Course description
BSc Mathematics with Engineering
Programme
Year one
You learn the core mathematical topics, such as sequences and series, calculus and matrices, that are fundamental to your later mathematical studies. In addition, you study a variety of engineering topics, either as a group with an emphasis on management and business (open to all students) or as a group emphasising physical aspects (open to students with A level Physics).
Year two
The mathematical tools you will need are developed to a more advanced level, enabling you to model physical problems such as fluid motion. Engineering subjects are studied from a variety of disciplines, chosen according to your interests and background.
Year three
In your third year, you study a range of advanced topics in mathematics and its applications, as well as engineering subjects. Your studies include project work in which you apply mathematics to practical problems.
Year four
You will gain more specialised knowledge of advanced mathematical techniques, and cover advanced engineering topics. Project work is particularly important, and you will undertake a substantial dissertation in the fourth year.
