Join a university ranked in the UK top five for Maths research (THE analysis of REF 2021) with an excellent reputation for teaching and learning (UK top 10 for Maths, QS World University Rankings by subject 2026).
Our MSc in Mathematical Sciences is a flexible and challenging programme, taught by leading experts in the field. It will help you to develop a wide range of mathematical techniques and give you a solid foundation for further research or employment at the highest levels.
The programme offers several advanced courses across both pure and applied mathematics, including algebra, logic, number theory, probability, and statistics. These are complemented by modules with strong connections to applications in physics (fluid mechanics, quantum physics, and quantum computation), as well as cryptography, mathematical finance, optimisation, data science, and artificial intelligence.
The MSc in Mathematical Sciences comprises a taught component and a research project.
There is an extensive range of possible combinations of units and themes. An academic mentor will advise you on unit selection and meet regularly with you individually or in small groups throughout the taught component. You are also encouraged to participate in the wider academic life of the school, including research seminars, reading clubs and social events.
Visit our programme catalogue for full details of the structure and unit content for our MSc in Mathematical Sciences.
You will typically need a strong upper second-class honours degree (65% or higher) or an international equivalent in Mathematics or a very closely related subject such as Mathematical Physics / Maths and Statistics / Statistics and Maths / Maths and Applied Maths / Applied Maths and Maths.
A joint honours degree in Mathematics, such as Maths with Economics / Finance / Physics / Statistics / Computer Science / Philosophy etc may be considered if there is sufficient theoretical mathematics content at 65% (or international equivalent).
We will consider your application if your interim grades are currently slightly lower than the programme's entry requirements and may make you an aspirational offer. This offer would be at the standard level, so you would need to achieve the standard entry requirements by the end of your degree. Specific module requirements would still apply.
If your achieved grade is lower than our entry requirements, your application may be more likely to receive an offer if you have additional relevant qualifications. Please include your CV (curriculum vitae / résumé) when you apply, showing a relevant postgraduate qualification.
See international equivalent qualifications on the International Office website.
Read the programme admissions statement for important information on entry requirements, the application process and supporting documents required.
If English is not your first language, you will need to reach the requirements outlined in our profile level E.
