Aims of the Programme -To provide students with an appreciation of the distinctive nature of mathematics as the language of science, a creative discipline that forms a systematic way of structuring thoughts and arguments, closely tied to a coherent body of associated knowledge in a specialist minor.
-To provide students with a broadly based education in mathematics and a specialist education in a minor.
-To provide a core understanding of mathematics.
-To make students aware of the wide range of career options open to them and prepare them for professional, graduate level employment or further study.
-To develop mathematical skills such as modelling, problem solving, and the use of precise technical language, both as a general skill and in application to a specialist minor.
-To develop other key skills such as a capacity for independent study and learning, report writing, giving presentations and team work.
