Overview
Harness the power of logic and reasoning to solve complex real-world analytical, technological, and scientific challenges.
Mathematics underpins much of the modern world. It’s behind the most advanced scientific and technological developments. It explains the phenomena in your everyday life: the acceleration you feel in a car, how much interest you’re gaining in your bank account, the way characters interact in video games.
Solving the problems of the 21st century alongside other intellectually curious students, you’ll be able to tailor your degree to your interests and career aspirations as you choose from a variety of modules.
Create an impression
Taught in our recently renovated £18-million building with state-of-the-art facilities, you’ll be inspired by a large team of expert academics. Learn from their years of experience in industry and hear about their cutting-edge research, including how Mathematics helped save thousands of lives in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Outside the lecture theatre, you can experience events led by our award-winning Mathematics Society. Or perhaps you’ll discover new ways of thinking from experts in one of our four research groups, including algebra and number theory, statistics with data science, and more.
Structure
You can complete your Mathematics degree in three, four or five years.
If you choose to do a professional placement or study abroad, this will take place in Year 3, and Year 3 modules will instead be studied in Year 4.

Study options
Apply for this degree with any of the following options. Take care to use the correct UCAS code - it may not be possible to change your selection later.
Integrated foundation year
Students who do not have the required high school qualifications for admission to this degree, and students who do not meet their UCAS Conditional offer may be considered for the 4 year degree (foundation year plus the 3 year degree).
International students with Year 12 or a completed international high school certificate qualify for the one year foundation programme commonly known as the ISEFP.
The foundation programme offers a range of transferable skills and an opportunity to improve on your knowledge content for relevant Maths and Science subjects.
You will enrol on a Mathematics BSc with Foundation which will offer progression to a range of degrees in the School of Mathematical Sciences including BSc Mathematics. At the end of the foundation programme, students will be required to meet the progression requirements for admission to BSc Mathematics
Professional Placement
Apply for our Mathematics BSc with Professional Placement to spend a year carrying out paid work in the financial sector as part of your degree. As well as helping you to stand out from the crowd and secure graduate employment, a placement is an excellent opportunity to develop your business skills and put your learning into context.
A Professional Placement/Industrial Experience year is not guaranteed, but you will receive support to identify and apply for opportunities, as well as interview preparation support to secure a placement/industrial experience year.
Year abroad
Go global and study abroad as part of your degree – apply for our Mathematics BSc or MSci with a Year Abroad. Queen Mary has links with universities in across the globe, including North America, Asia and Australia (partnerships vary for each degree programme).
Find out more about study abroad opportunities at Queen Mary and what the progression requirements are.
You can do either a year in a professional placement or a year abroad - you cannot combine these options.

Student Testimonial
"Every day, I achieve little goals thanks to the opportunities at Queen Mary. You can literally do whatever you want, and Queen Mary will support you to achieve anything. I’ve attended talks from experts at top companies and start-ups and learned from their personal experiences. Queen Mary equips you with the right tools to secure internships and, ultimately, a job after graduation."
Teaching
Teaching and learning
You’ll learn through lectures and tutorials, and also in exercise classes where students work together on problems, discuss ideas and ask questions. Some modules have a practical element presented in one of our computer labs.
Formal teaching time typically takes up 16 hours each week. You’ll also be expected to complete additional hours of independent study.
Assessment
We use a wide range of assessment methods, including examinations (typically contributing 60% and 80% of the module mark), individual and group projects, computer-based assessments and oral presentations. Students also complete a final-year project, giving them the opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills to a research or industry-focussed problem.
Resources and facilities
The School of Mathematical Sciences has invested £18m to create an inspiring, collaborative space for our community of students and staff. The building includes high-quality teaching rooms, private and group study areas and a new social hub.
