The School of Mathematics & Statistics (SoMaS) has a fundamental aim to deliver high quality education, in line with the Mission to maintain the highest University’s standards of excellence as a research-led institution whose staff work at the frontiers of academic enquiry and educate students in a research environment. All our courses are designed with this aim in mind. Aims The aims of the SoMaS undergraduate degree programmes are: to provide a mathematics and statistics degree programme with internal choice to accommodate the diversity of and abilities, and to provide students’ interests dual degrees to cater for those who wish to combine disciplines; to provide an intellectual environment conducive to learning; to prepare students for careers which use their mathematical/statistical training; to provide teaching which is informed and inspired by the research and scholarship of the staff; to provide students with assessments of their achievements over a range of mathematical and statistical skills, and to identify and support academic excellence. In its single honours programmes, it aims: to provide a degree programme in which students may choose either to specialise in one mathematical discipline (Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Probability & Statistics) or to choose a more balanced programme incorporating two or all three of these disciplines. In its single honours programmes with Study in Europe, it aims: to offer students the opportunity to study mathematics and statistics in another European country. In its single honours MMath programmes, including the MMath with Study in Europe programme, it aims: to prepare students for progression to a research degree in one of the three mathematical disciplines or for careers in which the use of mathematics is central. Learning Outcomes The learning outcomes for the single honours degrees within SoMaS are given below in full. Learning outcomes for duals degrees with mathematics and/or statistics are broadly similar; full details are given in the Programme Specifications for these degrees, available from . A single honours BSc graduate should: have acquired a working knowledge of the methods of linear mathematics; have acquired a working knowledge of the methods of advanced calculus; have acquired a broad knowledge of at least two of Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics and Probability & Statistics; have acquired a detailed knowledge of specialist mathematical or statistical topics; be able to apply core concepts and principles in well–defined contexts;
