Mathematics with a Year in Industry - MMath

University of Nottingham

**Course overview**\Are you curious about how advanced techniques in mathematical modelling are used? Do you want to get insights from the latest mathematical research? Our accredited MMath Mathematics with a Year in Industry will cover these topics and more. It will develop your skills in problem solving and analysis and prepare you to succeed as a professional mathematician.On this five-year course, you’ll learn from our dedicated mathematicians - exploring their exciting research, while also developing the skills and knowledge to carry out your own research. Your final-year dissertation will give you a taste of what it’s like to conduct your own research project, with the support of expert supervisors.A stand-out feature of this course is the year in industry, where you’ll apply what you’ve learned to real projects in a professional environment. You’ll be supported by a placement tutor through the whole process - from applying for positions to settling in and completing your placement. It could even lead to a job offer before you’ve graduated.As you would expect, the course places an emphasis on mathematical concepts - but with a practical application, too. We believe in collaboration and that’s why our students, industry professionals and alumni joined forces with our expert staff to design degrees suitable for the real world. Our co-created curriculum is redefining studying maths.You’ll learn from academics who are active researchers and whose work directly feeds into the course. We offer a range of specialised modules across all branches of mathematics – guided by [our diverse ](https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/mathematics/research/research.aspx "Research areas in mathematics")research interests. Our academics are working on problems that span:* medicine, biotechnology and food security* epidemic modelling* fluid mechanics, with applications in industry and biology* statistical machine learning* algebra and number theory* mathematical financeYou’ll be based on our award-winning University Park Campus in the purpose-built Maths Building.In your first year, you’ll experience the different areas of mathematics on offer - from applied mathematics to pure mathematics, statistics and probability. In your second and third years, you’ll have the freedom to tailor your degree based on what you enjoy and would like to specialise in.Later topics include:* abstract mathematical structures* ordinary and partial differential equations* probabilistic and statistical models* mathematical finance**Putting your maths into practice**\There are lots of opportunities to apply your knowledge in a real-world context. Our classes are dynamic, interactive spaces. You’ll work both individually and together with other students to tackle complex problems from industry and academia, using advanced theories and techniques.Regular group work, presentations and projects will help you to develop a broad set of transferable skills, while computing assignments – including coding and simulations – will ensure you’re familiar with the latest tools used in industry.You could also broaden your career options further by learning a language alongside your main degree through the [Language Centre optional modules](https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/language-centre/modules-for-current-students/modules-for-current-students.aspx "Language learning opportunities").
