Campus Taught

Studying alongside peers from related courses, you’ll spend your Mathematics Foundation Entry Year getting a broad introduction to modern mathematics.

You’ll develop basic mathematical skills, including core aspects of algebra, analysis and calculus, along with optional specialist modules like cryptology and mathematical biology.

You’ll be taught by research-active staff who are also members of the School’s Jeremiah Horrocks Institute.

At the end of your foundation year, and depending on your choice of optional modules, you can progress onto degree courses in mathematics, physics, astrophysics, engineering, or computing.

Why study with us

You’ll develop transferable study and job skills like teamwork and communication, problem-solving and self-management.
The Institute of Mathematics and Its Applications (IMA) give public seminars here so you can broaden your knowledge and learn about additional applications of mathematics.
Our friendly lecturers are always available to help support you. They'll make sure you're ready to start the degree of your choice.

What you'll do

You’ll study Foundation Maths modules and follow this up with either three physics or three computing modules.
Early on in the course you’ll attend a residential team building event, so you’ll get to know staff and students, and develop friendships that will last throughout your studies.
There are opportunities to go on international field trips which have an educational purpose. Previous students have been as far afield as Benin in West Africa, where they visited local schools and attended conferences.
