Mathematics with Placement Year

About this course

Mathematics is the language in which the laws of the universe are written, and it underpins the physical sciences, economics, engineering, computing, data analysis, and an increasingly wide range of other fields. Studying it at degree level at the University of Manchester develops the capacity for precise abstract reasoning, the ability to construct and evaluate rigorous proofs, and the quantitative and analytical skills that are among the most transferable a graduate can possess. This four-year full-time degree includes a placement year in industry, giving you the opportunity to apply mathematical thinking in a professional environment and to understand the practical contexts in which mathematics creates value. The programme is designed to be highly flexible, ensuring you develop a strong all-round mathematical knowledge across pure mathematics, applied mathematics, and statistics whil
