You'll develop your critical thinking skills and learn advanced mathematical techniques for approaching problems in a logical, analytical and creative manner. Mathematical modelling is used across a wide range of problems. These include the design of: ' networks for improved efficiency in traffic flow ' climate models used to predict weather events, and ' models that enable scientists to better understand infectious diseases. Study applied mathematics and learn how advanced mathematical methods are used to develop practical solutions in a variety of real-world contexts. Many of our mathematics graduates study higher degrees and go on to research positions at universities and other major research institutions.
