MMath MASTER OF MATHEMATICS
MMATH MASTER OF MATHEMATICS
Our prestigious four-year Master of Mathematics degree programme will allow you to delve deeper and really develop your interests in pure and applied mathematics.
Our flexible course format will enable you to decide whether you want to focus on pure mathematics, applied mathematics, or a combination of the two. And – as well as engaging in the study of essential mathematical theory and technique – you’ll have the opportunity to carry out a substantial research project in your final year. The project is designed to not only allow you to experience the challenge of independent study and discovery, but to also develop skills are essential to many future careers
Complete your studies with distinction you may want to join our active group of postgraduate students, as our Masters programme is also excellent preparation for a career in research – either in industry or within a university. And research is just one of the many challenging career paths open to our Master of Mathematics students.
About
Our four-year integrated Masters course is ideal if you want to take your studies to the next level and prepare to work in academia or research. Going into greater depth than our three-year BSc programme, it’s a flexible course that allows you to specialise in either pure or applied mathematics, or a combination of the two.
In your final year you’ll take on a substantial research project. This will give you experience in independent study and help develop key career skills such as report writing and oral presentation. So you’ll not only graduate with a deep understanding of mathematics, but with great career prospects too.
At UEA you’ll also benefit from internationally recognised, research-led teaching and a high academic staff to student ratio. Lectures are complemented by small group teaching in your first year and regular workshops in later years, ensuring you get quality contact time with our world-class lecturers.

After the Course
Study with us and you’ll graduate with a deep understanding of mathematics – and with great career prospects. The experience of previous students suggests that completing a substantial project dissertation report, and a n oral presentation, are viewed very positively by prospective employers.
You could choose to enter one of the professions traditionally associated with mathematics, such as accountancy, banking and finance, statistics and data analysis, and secondary or higher education. Or you could follow other graduates into roles in which logical-thinking and problem-solving are important capabilities. These include information technology, engineering, logistics and distribution, central or local government, as well as other business areas. Many of our graduates also choose to continue their studies by going on to a higher degree.
Career destinations
Example of careers that you could enter include:
-
Secondary school teacher
-
Cyber Security consultant
