The modules we outline here provide examples of what you can expect to learn on this degree course based on recent academic teaching. The precise modules available to you in future years may vary depending on staff availability and research interests, new topics of study, timetabling and student demand.
Year 1
In addition to taking core modules in Mathematics, you’ll learn about the theory underlying different types of management structures, processes and practices. Through this you’ll consider the relevance of both historical and contemporary approaches to the future of work organisation by practising managers.
- Foundations
- Mathematical Structures
- Mathematical Methods
- Probability, Statistics and Data
- Discovering Management
Year 2
In your second year you’ll study core modules in Management, gaining a deeper understanding of operations management, marketing and consumer behaviour. You’ll also have the opportunity to choose from several optional modules in Mathematics relevant to Business, such as Differential Equations and Statistical Modelling.
- Differential Equations
- Operations Management
- Choice of Management Modules
Placement year (if taken)
If you choose the ‘with a Year in Industry’ variant of this degree, your placement will take place in the third year of this five year degree.
Year 3 (Year 4 if taking placement year)
In your third year you’ll study a compulsory module in strategic management, gaining an understanding of the 21st century competitive landscape from a strategic management perspective, and developing the ability to analyse strategic issues using a number of approaches. You’ll also have the freedom to choose modules in Mathematics from across the department such as Topology and Metric Spaces and Theory of Weather and Climate. 30 credits may be chosen from outside the areas of mathematics and management.
- Research in Mathematical Sciences
- Strategic Management
Final year
The focus of your final year will be a research-led project, through which you will explore a topic of your choice. You’ll be supervised by an academic with expertise in your chosen field and gain experience working as an independent researcher.
- Analysis and Computation for Finance
- Mathematical Theory of Option Pricing
- Mathematics, Business and Finance Project
