Department of Mathematics
Discovering abstract mathematical structures and applying mathematical innovation to real-world problems.
Study with us
Become part of a vibrant mathematical community.
Our courses cover pure and applied mathematics and statistics. You'll be taught by dedicated staff, many of whom are leaders in their fields.
Schools and public outreach
We offer a range of activities for the public, families and school students.
From school visits and taster days to science trails and public lectures, we aim to open up mathematics to all and encourage the study of mathematics at A level and beyond.
We pride ourselves on our balance of pure and interdisciplinary research, from staff with an international outlook, in a friendly, dynamic environment.
