How does university learning differ from A-Level studies?

In addition to your timetabled activities, you'll be expected to work as an independent learner to develop your Mathematics skills. This can include:

  • Online activities
  • Problem sheets
  • Reading
  • Revision

PASS: Peer Assisted Support Scheme

Hear from Mathematics students on how they find the teaching on the course. Our PASS sessions provide a relaxed, informal environment for you to receive support with your studies.

“You're not pigeon-holed into any one career. Maths grads can go into many different roles, but the sheer variety of roles and fields is something even maths students may not be aware of.”
“I think that many people are surprised by the fact that there is a lot of research being done in Maths. Like, of course people realize that there is research in Physics or Biology but maybe not Maths.”
