Mathematics with a Placement Year

About this course

Mathematics is the study of structure, quantity, pattern, and change, and it occupies a position unlike any other discipline because its insights apply across almost every area of human knowledge and endeavour. Pure mathematics develops the logical foundations of abstract structures, exploring results that are true by necessity rather than by observation. Applied mathematics connects these foundations to the physical world, providing the analytical tools that underpin engineering, physics, economics, biology, and data science. A mathematics degree trains you to think with a precision and rigour that is rare and genuinely valuable, and to move between abstract reasoning and concrete problem-solving with confidence. At the University of East Anglia, you will study mathematics over four years of full-time study, with the additional year structured as a placement year. This four-year progra
