Entry requirements for international students
 

Overall IELTS score of 6.5 with a minimum of 6.0 in each component, or equivalent.

• Home ( annual fee) : £11,500
   
• Overseas ( annual fee) : £23,250
   

The fee listed is for the advertised mode of study. If you're studying for an alternative qualification or via a different mode of study (eg full-time, part-time) then the fee could be different. Due to inflation, the fee for Home students could also increase after your first year of study.

The advanced topics covered and the extensive research training make this degree programme great preparation for a PhD.
 

Mathematics graduates also develop numerical, problem solving and data analysis skills that are useful in many other careers. This can help you stand out in job markets where maths graduates thrive, such as computing, banking and data science.
