This course involves substantial study of rigorous mathematics. What distinguishes this degree is the additional opportunity to study psychological and sociological research on the teaching and learning of mathematics, to gain experience of working in a school, and to undertake a substantial education research project in collaboration with a member of academic staff. It provides excellent preparation for students interested in becoming mathematics teachers, and also for anyone who wishes to broaden their skill set to include critical analysis of the latest research studies, oral debating and presentation skills, and academic report writing.

Salaried industrial placement and/or overseas study.
Final year
Graduate destinations
Areas studied include mathematics education and all areas of pure and applied mathematics and statistics along with a mathematics education research project.
Graduate destinations
This course provides a thorough grounding in mathematics, but with a very substantial statistics and probability component, right up to modern applications, such as in medical statistics, and a major final-year project, which offers a connection to contemporary statistics research.
This course will be highly beneficial when entering industry, business or finance, in any environment or role where you will be expected to use your mathematics through team work, explain your thinking effectively and write informative reports. It will also be of enormous value for those who would like to progress to a career as a mathematics teacher.
Careers open to graduates from the course range across many areas of commerce, industry and education. The course could also be a stepping stone on the route to further study in statistics, especially in medical statistics. *Diploma in Professional/International Studies
