Mathematics with a Year in Industry - MMath (Hons)

University of Nottingham

Are you curious about how advanced techniques in mathematical modelling are used? Do you want to learn about insights from the latest mathematical research? Perhaps you are keen to apply this learning to a real-life situation with a placement year as part of your degree.During this MMath you will cover these topics, learning from dedicated mathematicians. Our degree gives you the chance to learn more about the exciting research our academics are working on, whilst equipping you with the knowledge and skills to carry out your own research.You'll develop your skills in problem solving and analysis. The course will also enable you to enhance and develop your transferable skills in project work, group study and presentations, then apply them in the workplace during your year in industry.There's a range of specialised modules across all branches of mathematics, based upon our diverse research interests. Our academics are working on problems that span:+ medicine, biotechnology and food security+ epidemic modelling+ fluid mechanics, with applications in industry and biology+ statistical machine learning+ algebra and number theory+ mathematical finance**Courses for students, by students**Our co-created curriculum is redefining studying maths. Imagine being part of a vibrant community where students have actively shaped the degree programmes. We believe in collaboration, and that's why our students, industry professionals, and alumni joined forces with our dedicated staff to design degrees suitable for the real world. As you would expect there is emphasis on mathematical concepts and techniques, but with a practical application too.Want to find out more?**Year in industry**The industry placement opportunity enables you to take what you've learned and apply it to real projects in a professional working environment. The placement year can provide you with a source of income and can even lead to a job offer before you've graduated.**About mathematics at the University of Nottingham**The first year of this accredited degree gives you a flavour of the different areas of mathematics on offer. You will cover topics spanning applied mathematics, pure mathematics, statistics and probability. You will work individually and in groups to solve real-world problems using advanced theories and techniques. It helps you to decide what you enjoy and if there are areas in which you want to specialise.Later topics include:+ abstract mathematical structures+ ordinary and partial differential equations+ probabilistic and statistical models+ mathematical finance+ quantum mechanics and relativity**Putting your maths into practice**There are lots of opportunities to apply your knowledge in a real-world context, by working together with other students and lecturers to tackle complex problems from industry and academia.We work closely with our industry partners and alumni to ensure the course is matched to employer needs so you can enter the workplace confident in the skills and knowledge you've gained.
