BSc Mathematics

Comments about BSc Mathematics - At the institution - Sheffield - South Yorkshire

• Objectives
  The Mathematics course is taught by the three departments of Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics and probability and Statistics. Most Single Honours students start by studying Core Mathematics and all three of these subjects and may specialise in one or two of them later on. There is scope for changing degree course within the first few weeks of arriving in Sheffield, and sometimes at the end of the first or second year. The courses in Applied Mathematics and Probability and Statistics do not assume prior knowledge of these subjects.
• Entry requirements
  Entry requirements GCE/VCE A Levels - ABC Two GCE A Levels plus two GCE AS Levels - AB+CC Scottish Highers - AABB - AAAB (plus at least two Advanced Highers) Irish Leaving Cert. - ABBBB - AABBB BTEC Level N - 2 Distinctions and 1 Merit International Baccalaureate - 32-33 points including 5 in Higher Maths Core Requirements - Grade A in GCE A level Maths

• Course description
  Our students usually select from a range of compulsory and optional modules to add up to 120 credits.
  
  Some departments offer courses that don't feature optional modules whereas other courses are fully flexible.
  
  Important notice :
  
  This is a list of modules that have been offered in the past. We expect similar modules to be offered for courses starting in 2009.
