About the course
This programme has been designed to give you an advanced understanding of mathematics. Choose to specialise in a particular area or study across a range of mathematical topics in pure, applied and statistics.
You will gain a solid foundation for any career requiring a strong mathematical background, including education, finance and engineering. Our graduate seminars and projects let you work closely with experts at the forefront of research and give you the transferrable skills that are invaluable for employment and further studies at PhD level.
You'll be able to enhance your mathematical understanding using computer programming in MATLAB, R, Python and more. The research interests of our staff include: algebra, fluid mechanics, industrial applications of mathematics, theoretical cosmology and astrophysics, statistical mechanics, and data analysis. At Hull, you will be part of a small community of like-minded mathematicians.
What you'll study
There are three trimesters. During the first two trimesters, you'll study the compulsory modules, and choose four optional modules. For the final trimester, you will work closely with a supervisor on an advanced mathematical project.
All modules are subject to availability and this list may change at any time.

-
Statistics
Important contemporary statistical topics are covered including regression and time series. Coverage of mathematical aspects of regression and the normal family of distributions ensures that due mathematical rigour is also provided.
-
Systems Biology
The module covers an important part of 21st Century applied mathematics. Relevant statistical modelling techniques are also discussed.
-
Asymptotic Methods
The module lays the foundations for the principled treatment of applied mathematical problems in second semester modules (Applied Complex Analysis and Advanced Fluids) and beyond. Real-world mathematical applications are discussed. The module’s inclusion also means that Hull’s rigorous mathematical traditions are maintained.
