BSc Mathematics at Imperial College London

Mathematics at Imperial aims to present a wide range of mathematical ideas in a way that develops your critical and intellectual abilities.

The Department is home to several Fellows of the Royal Society and international prize winners, and our degrees are built around our research expertise in four core areas:

• Pure Mathematics
• Applied Mathematics and Mathematical Physics
• Mathematical Finance
• Statistics

You will cover both topics that are a direct continuation of those at A-level and those that introduce you to new ways of thinking, such as the logical structure of arguments, the proper definition of mathematical objects, the design of sophisticated mathematical models, and the legitimacy of computations.

All of our courses have a similar curriculum for the first two years, covering key areas of mathematics such as algebra, differential equations, and probability and statistics.

Elective and more specialised modules start in your second year and enable you to deepen your knowledge of some areas while maintaining a broad understanding of mathematics.

In your final year you can choose from over 50 optional modules, many of which are linked to our cutting edge research, allowing you to specialise in the areas of maths that interest you most.

Our BSc Mathematics (G100) degree gives you the broadest choice of optional modules on a three-year BSc programme, enabling you to graduate with a broad understanding of mathematical theory and application.
