An application for MMath Mathematics, UCAS course code G100, gives you access to everything on offer within Mathematics and Statistics.
If you decide that you do not wish to pursue a MMath programme you can change to the Single Honours degree Mathematics or a Joint Degree, at a later stage. All students are assigned an Advisor of Studies who will guide you through the options available to you at each stage of your career with us. Please note that within the BSc/MA Mathematics degree programme you can, if you wish, take Statistics options and complete a degree with a substantial Statistical component. If you complete sufficient modules in Statistics you can graduate with a Statistics degree which is accredited by the RSS.
