The course is an exciting applications-focused mathematics programme with the curriculum oriented towards potential career opportunities. There is a strong focus on setting the application of mathematics in context - providing you with relevant commercial and social awareness and appropriate professional skills for your future career development. 

The overarching ethos of the delivery is that you should be engaged in active learning wherever possible. A largely problem- centred learning approach is adopted, whereby you will begin with the problems of interest and learn the necessary theory and techniques required to solve them. To assist with this, extensive use is made of computational support. You will gain computing skills and experience of a variety of up to date professional, industry-standard software packages deployed on the University's modern computing facilities.   

Of key importance is a theme integrating mathematical and professional skills, culminating in you undertaking a substantial piece of independent study allowing you to design and create solution implementations or other appropriate artefacts. A distinctive feature of this theme is that you will work in groups together with students from other (IT-based) disciplines on real world case-studies, developing your own professional skills and awareness of your place in the wider professional world. Kingston University scored 100% for overall student satisfaction for Mathematics in the National Student Survey 2018.
