Welcome
The School brings together two outstanding and progressive departments: the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Physics and Astronomy. The synergy of these two subjects enables the School to deliver new and challenging opportunities for faculty and students. These opportunities are expansive and open up many new career paths for our graduates: mathematics already plays a major role in disciplines such as economics and computer science and, increasingly, both mathematics and physics are becoming pivotal in the life sciences revolution.

Mathematics
This student-focused, dynamic department is the place to study a range of undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. The discipline of Mathematics appeals to a broad spectrum of students and the versatility and skills of a mathematician are highly desirable in industry and commerce. An increasing proportion of Mathematics graduates are continuing their studies to develop specialist knowledge.
