Program Overview

If you're interested in developing your mathematical talents and learning how to apply mathematics and statistics to real life problems, then this degree will give you an enjoyable route to becoming a mathematics graduate. It focuses on showing you how to apply a range of mathematical and statistical tools in order to get results, as well as learning to articulate how you have come to your conclusion. Our degree also includes the use of modern software and training on how to present your work professionally.

The university’s strong research culture feeds into the course, together with direct feedback from employers about the skills that they want our graduates to develop. These combine to ensure that you gain the most relevant up-to-date knowledge and skills on which to build your career.

We’re particularly proud of our high performance in the NSS (National Student Survey), steadily performing well above national averages.

Your first two years will offer fundamental knowledge in mathematics and statistics, then you’ll specialise your studies through a choice of optional modules such as financial mathematics, cryptography, medical statistics or fluid dynamics among others.

This integrated undergraduate course is underpinned by our research strengths in areas of applied mathematics and in your final year you will have the opportunity to do a substantial piece of research in areas such as biomathematics, classical and quantum dynamical systems, symmetries and integrable systems, magnetohydrodynamics and nonlinear waves.

In addition, you’ll have the option of a work-based placement year in industry or to study abroad at one of our partner institutions, enabling you to develop additional personal and professional skills.

Northumbria Mathematics Department achieved an overall satisfaction score of 100% (National Student Survey, 2020)
This programme is accredited to meet the educational requirements of the Chartered Mathematician designation awarded by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications.

Course Content
From the outset, we’ll help you to take responsibility for your own learning as you develop the skills to investigate the frontiers of mathematics and statistics.

You’ll be taught through lectures, classes, seminars and workshops in computer labs where you’ll work with your fellow students, supported by academic staff.

You’ll be able to use the university’s online resources to support your study, including the e-learning portal where you can access course materials and develop discussions with your peers.

We’ll also encourage you to take an independent approach to problem solving and you’ll develop skills in computer programming and data analysis using a range of specialist applications.

At the start of each module, we’ll be really clear about its content and what you should expect to achieve. Assessment will be through a mix of practical and theoretical approaches including coursework and exams and we’ll provide regular and high-quality feedback with every piece of work, as well as throughout the course, to ensure you develop the skills and knowledge you need to succeed.

We’ll help you take responsibility for your learning as you develop skills to investigate the frontiers of mathematics, leading to an open-ended research project in your final year. This will include an emphasis on problem solving, particularly using IT packages.

Your optional industrial placement will help to reinforce and develop your knowledge and skills, bringing real context to your studies.
