At Exeter we are strongly motivated by the application of Mathematics. It is an exceptionally powerful tool that is an essential part of life in the real world. There is a strong link between what we teach and what we research.
Strong links across industries provide real examples of situations to be solved logically. We have 3 Met Office professors within climate mathematics and good links with Biosciences and Physics; at Exeter you have the flexibility to choose.
Mathematics degrees give a firm foundation in Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics and Statistics/Optimisation. In the first and second years there are compulsory modules in all these areas, together with some optional modules.
The MSci prepares mathematicians to work in a named area of science of major contemporary importance which depends heavily on mathematical tools and models.
Climate change is one of the biggest challenges we face, and mathematical models are essential in understanding and predicting the behaviour of the climate system. The MSci Mathematics (Climate Science) programme gives you the opportunity to see how different areas of mathematics, such as fluid dynamics, statistics and numerical computing, contribute to understanding the climate and the impact of human activity upon it. Graduates of this programme will be well equipped to work in climate modelling and related areas, for instance in the Met Office.
Choosing Mathematics at Exeter gives you:
- The flexibility and freedom to choose a wide range of optional modules - enabling you to sample various disciplines and specialise if desired.
- Research led teaching - all academic staff are active, internationally recognised researchers across a wide range of mathematical topics.
- First-class equipment and excellent facilities - a £2.8 million investment including a major expansion of computer facilities and completely refitted lecture theatres.
- Staff committed to helping you make the best mathematics career choices - you'll be guided at every step to help you choose the best mathematics option for you.
