BSc Mathematics (with Placement Year) at Durham University

[email protected]


This BSc offers the opportunity to study a broad range of topics in pure and Applied Mathematics & Statistics, developing your analytic and problem-solving skills and preparing you for a career in a wide variety of sectors.


Mathematics is all around us. From Accounting to Architecture, Engineering to Software development, Mathematics plays a central role in our data-driven world. The study of Maths develops the analytical, critical thinking, reasoning and problem-solving skills that are valued by employers and form the basis for a wide range of careers.

When you choose Maths you’ll be taught by a team of mathematicians with a passion for sharing the beauty of Mathematics and a wealth of experience in research across the spectrum of Pure and Applied Mathematics and Statistics. And with many of the teaching team actively involved at the forefront of research, the degree is designed to link learning to research in distinctive and creative ways.


The BSc Mathematics is housed in a brand-new facility, purpose-built to meet the learning, teaching and study needs of students from the Department.


The first year of the course begins with a broad-based introduction to Pure and Applied Mathematics, Statistics and Probability and provides a sound foundation for in-depth study in subsequent years. As you move into the second year the structure offers more flexibility, enabling you to shape your degree around one specific area or continue developing your skills across a wide range of subjects.


During the final year the range of optional modules expands further with a choice of around 20 different areas. The degree culminates in a project that gives you the opportunity to investigate a mathematical topic of interest in depth.


You can also apply to add a placement year or a year abroad to your degree, increasing the course from three years to four.


As well as developing you academically, a Durham University degree will equip you with a range of practical skills including critical thinking, an analytical approach and ability to reason with information, alongside experience in building relationships and leading teams.


A significant number of our students progress to higher level study following their degree. Some remain within their academic field of interest and pursue higher level research, notably at Durham University but also other prestigious institutions. Others take a different route and pursue postgraduate programmes or employment in areas from statistics and financial management to conservation and teaching.


Some of the high-profile employers our graduates have gone on to work for include Royal London, Deloitte, CERN, Morgan Stanley and Ocado.
