This Diploma plus MSc course is designed for those enthusiastic about mathematics. Warwick's Mathematics Institute has designed this course for undergraduates of mathematics, physics or statistics degree to further develop their knowledge through a challenging and uniquely flexible programme.

Course Overview

If you see yourself as a research mathematician of the future, this course may appeal to you. For enthusiastic mathematicians, it’s a chance to further develop your knowledge if you already have an undergraduate Mathematics, Physics or Statistics degree. If your academic background is not in these areas, this course could still appeal if you’re a strong mathematician looking for a return to formal education.

Your studies will include a mix of lecture-based modules and independent research. The Diploma+MSc option gives you the opportunity to work on a project in your first year before you progress to your dissertation in the second year.

Teaching

A two-year MSc exists in both Mathematics and Interdisciplinary Mathematics with separate regulations. Each student registered for a two-year MSc produces a plan of study before the beginning of their second term in consultation with their supervisor and the Director of MSc Studies. This plan should include a statement of the basis for assessment of a student’s progress during the first year and the weighting to be given to the various modules taken over the two years.
