Course Summary

Advance your career with a high-level qualification. Delve deep into the aspects of pure and applied mathematics that interest you, choosing from areas such as fractal geometry, coding theory and calculus of variations. Choose from a wide range of modules. There are topics for not only mathematicians but mathematically inclined engineers and scientists. To conclude, you’ll complete an independent study, exploring a topic in detail and submitting a dissertation. Mathematics postgraduates can be found throughout industry, business and commerce, in the public and private sectors. Employers value the intellectual rigour and reasoning skills that mathematics students can acquire, their familiarity with numerical and symbolic thinking and the analytic approach to problem-solving which is their hallmark. There are a variety of reasons for studying mathematics at postgraduate level. You may want a postgraduate qualification in order to distinguish yourself from an increasingly large graduate population. You may find that your undergraduate mathematical knowledge is becoming insufficient for your career requirements, especially if you are hoping to specialise in one of the more mathematical areas, which are becoming more sought after by employers. Or you may want to move on to a PhD in Mathematics. The extent of opportunities is vast and mathematics postgraduates are equipped with skills and knowledge required for jobs in fields such as finance, education, engineering, science and business, as well as mathematics and mathematical science research.

Modules

This module enables you to carry out a sustained, guided, independent study of a topic in mathematics. Currently there are six topics to choose from: advances in approximation theory; algebraic graph theory; dynamical functional equations and applications; history of modern geometry; mathematical modelling of interfacial flows and microfluidics and variational methods applied to eigenvalue problems. This list is subject to change. You will be guided by study notes, books, research articles and original sources (or English translations where necessary), which are provided. You'll need to master the appropriate mathematics and ultimately present your work in the form of a final dissertation.
