Programme structure

Outline

The programme has a flexible structure consisting of compulsory, alternative compulsory and elective courses, allowing you to shape your own profile within Mathematics or Numerical Analysis. Most courses are offered once per year, making it important to plan your course choices well in advance. The alternative compulsory courses are selected from the advanced level mathematics and numerical analysis courses listed further down on this page under Year 1 and 2.

The elective courses give you the opportunity to broaden or deepen your studies. Courses in mathematical statistics are often a valuable complement, especially if you wish to strengthen your skills in modelling, data analysis or probabilistic methods.
