  Course description
  This flexible single-honours undergraduate Masters degree programme offers you the widest choice of options, ideal if you are mathematically gifted and wish to keep your options open. You get good all-round mathematical knowledge together with the ability to experience more specialised results, methods and ideas. You can choose courses from other disciplines and from a huge variety of mathematics options allowing you to graduate with finely-honed skills in your own chosen areas. You get an education in sufficient depth in these specialised areas to enable you to undertake postgraduate studies, conduct mathematical research or work as a specialist mathematician in industry, business or higher education.
