Overview
This challenging Bachelor degree is available to students who have superior mathematical knowledge on entry, allowing the amount of first year mathematics subjects to be significantly reduced. This enables students to take enrichment projects, which provide opportunities to build links with industry and to understand the interaction between mathematics and society. Students will also have close interaction with active academic researchers.
