Voice of the student ‘I chose to study Mathematics at king’s college london not only because of the prestigious nature of the university and course, but because I felt that King’s offered a really unique university experience. For me, king’s stands apart from all other universities as the campuses are located close to some of the most exciting parts of london. since I started king’s, the atmosphere in and around campus has been extremely vibrant, and there is certainly never a dull moment! I believe king’s provides the perfect balance for allowing students to feel alive and stimulated whilst pursuing undergraduate study.’

The single honours programme contains compulsory modules in both pure mathematics, including algebra, analysis, geometry (a particular feature of King’s) and in applied mathematics, including mathematical methods, dynamical systems and probability and statistics.
The programme lays the foundations of advanced mathematics necessary for applications of, and research in, a rapidly growing subject. Designed for students interested in careers in which mathematics is used technically, it covers more ground than the BSc programme, and includes a substantial project to be completed in the fourth year.
