Our Mathematical Sciences (including foundation year) BSc (Hons) explores the modern application of mathematics in different disciplines, including finance, programming, project management and statistics.This four-year bachelor鈥檚 course is suitable if you don鈥檛 have traditional qualifications or can鈥檛 meet the necessary requirements to enter our standard three-year degree. It has a built-in foundation year, which is designed to prepare you for study at undergraduate level by equipping you with basic skills in mathematics and its applications, such as computer science.

Our Mathematical Sciences (including foundation year) BSc is very practical and employment focused, providing you with mathematical skills and knowledge that is directly applicable in the workplace.During your time at the University you鈥檒l be able to take advantage of the academic and pastoral support on offer from your tutors and academic mentors. There will also be opportunities to attend career-related workshops, including those that concentrate on improving your interview skills and adopting best practice in writing job applications.Your foundation year will be shared with students from other disciplines within the School of Computing and Digital Media, so you鈥檒l get the opportunity to discuss the different applications of mathematics with other students.In Year 0 (the foundation year) you鈥檒l explore subjects that rely on the application of mathematical knowledge and learn fundamental skills in cyber security, programming and mathematics. You鈥檒l also be introduced to robotics and the Internet of Things (IoT). These topics will provide you with a multitude of transferable skills as you鈥檒l get to practise in electrical workshops, explore fundamental theoretical concepts and use a range of mathematical techniques.During the subsequent three years of your studies you鈥檒l have the same choice of modules and study the same content as students on the Mathematical Sciences BSc (Hons). You鈥檒l also graduate with the same award and title as students on this course.If, at the end of your foundation year, you鈥檇 like to change your specialism to a different subject within the School of Computing and Digital Media, there will be some flexibility to allow you to do this.
