Programme structure

Programme Year One

You will take the modules:

(a) Calculus I
(b) Introduction to Linear Algebra
© Calculus II
(d) Numbers and Sets
(e) Dynamic Modelling
(f) Introduction to Statistics

You have the choice of:

(g) Mathematical IT Skills

or

(i) Introduction to Programming in Java

and

(h) Numbers, Groups and Codes

or

(j) Introduction to Databases

You will have to take (i) and (j) if you want to take Computer Science modules in your second year.

Tutorials for foundation modules (a b and c) are in small groups.

Programme Year Two

In the second and subsequent years of study, there is a wide range of modules. For the programme that you choose there may be no compulsory modules (although you may have to choose a few from a subset such as Pure Mathematics). If you make a different choice, you will find that one or more modules have to be taken. Each year you will choose the equivalent of eight modules. Please note that we regularly review our teaching so the choice of modules may change.
