Mathematics MMath at University of Liverpool

If you enjoyed studying Mathematics at school and would like to study the subject in more depth, you should consider G100 or G101. Students on this programme are well placed to embark on a PhD or to take a research post in industry after graduation.

Programme in detail

In the first two years of this programme, you will study a range of topics covering important areas of both pure and applied mathematics, no assumptions are made about whether or not you have previously studied mechanics or statistics, or have previous experience of the use of computers. Year One modules introduce fundamental ideas and also reinforce A level work.

Year abroad

This degree programme now has a Year Abroad option (Mathematics with a Year Abroad MMath, UCAS code: G002). The Year Abroad is an incredible new opportunity to spend one academic year at one our partner universities expanding your academic and cultural horizons. You’ll spend this time abroad in between your second and third years of study and your degree will extend by one year.

During the Year Abroad you’ll take a variety of modules. Some modules will be related to the culture, history and society of the country you’re living and others will be discipline-related modules. This mixture means you have a fantastic opportunity to learn in-depth about your host country as well as learn new and exciting knowledge that will complement your degree studies back in Liverpool. Research from Universities UK tells us that students who spend time studying abroad during their degree programme are more likely to be in further education or employment 6 months after graduating, earn higher than average salaries and are more likely to graduate with a 2:1 or First Class degree.

Career prospects

A mathematically-based degree opens up a wide range of career opportunities, including some of the most lucrative professions.

Typical types of work our graduates have gone onto include as an actuarial trainee analyst in the audit practice, a graduate management trainee risk analyst and as a trainee chartered accountant on a graduate business programme. Employers value mathematicians’ high level of numeracy and problem solving skills.

Financial rewards are impressive, research by Pricewaterhouse Coopers revealed that mathematical science graduates earn on average an extra £241,749 over their lifetime than those who leave school after A levels. This is the third highest ‘graduate premium’ of all subject areas.
