Department of Mathematics
We’re a small and friendly department and we run a lively range of undergraduate courses. Students can study a core maths curriculum – or combine this with economics, statistics, finance, physics and music. Our teaching and research are well integrated, and our academic interests include pure and applied maths. We often focus on real-world areas where these two disciplines combine.
We also boast an active postgraduate research community, while our award-winning Professional Training placements help our graduates secure jobs across a wide range of sectors, including prestigious City firms, the civil service and various industry positions.

Professor Anne Skeldon tells us about her research on mathematical models for sleep, light and the body clock, and predicting the effect of moving school start times and of permanent daylight saving.

Outreach for schools and colleges
We offer taster sessions for year 12's to experience university life and masterclasses for secondary schools to inspire young minds to pursue mathematics.
