Mathematics (MMath)
UCAS Code: G101The Mathematics degree programmes at Cardiff are particularly flexible and allow you to choose topics from the full range of subject areas in mathematics: pure mathematics, applied mathematics, statistics, operational research and computing.
The MMath degree programme is offered to satisfy a need for a more advanced level of mathematical training than is available in a 3-year programme. The modules offered in the first three years of the programme are common to the 3-year degree programmes in mathematics, allowing the flexibility of transfer between courses. In the first year you study a variety of mathematics and computing modules. In the second and third years you take a selection of advanced modules that allow you to build on the interests developed in the first year. There are specialised modules such as Coding Theory, Combinatorics, Integral Equations, Fluid Dynamics, Statistical Inference, Mathematical Programming, Quantum Mechanics and Differential Geometry.
In the fourth year the course develops research training and enhanced mathematical skills, especially in Mathematical Analysis, Mathematical Physics and Fluid Dynamics. There is also a major piece of project work in which you would be undertaking novel research. The course is an ideal preparation for students wishing to go on to research work in mathematics, work for a technological company or who simply want to gain a deeper understanding of mathematics.
