Mathematics degrees give a firm foundation in Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics and Statistics/Optimisation. In the first and second years there are compulsory modules in all these areas, together with some optional modules. Our MSci degrees prepare mathematicians to work in a named area of science of major contemporary importance which depends heavily on mathematical tools and models. Climate change is one of the biggest challenges we face, and mathematical models are essential in understanding and predicting the behaviour of the climate system. The MSci Mathematics (Climate Science) programme gives you the opportunity to see how different areas of mathematics, such as fluid dynamics, statistics and numerical computing, contribute to understanding the climate and the impact of human activity upon it. Graduates of this programme will be well equipped to work in climate modelling and related areas, for instance in the Met Office.
