MSc Mathematics and its Applications

If you love mathematics, want to learn more and like to find out about the wider relevance and application of what you are learning, then this MSc is for you.

The Mathematics group at the University of Kent, based in Canterbury, is highly qualified to lead your adventure in mathematics. Indeed, in the last Research Assessment Exercise, 95% of mathematics research submitted was rated at International Quality or above. From internationally renowned researchers to up and coming research stars, we all have a strong committment to student achievement and to developing students' creativity.

The programme has been designed for recent honours graduates seeking to enhance their employability or thinking of doing a PhD but wanting an extra year, as well as for teachers of mathematics in schools wanting to develop their mathematical knowledge, communication and project design skills. Mathematics graduates enjoy a wide range of careers in many science and engineering based industries, as well as in banking and finance; many employers take the view that if you can do mathematics, they can teach you the rest.

The University of Kent also offers the "International MSc in Mathematics and its Applications" which is a two year course. The first year consists of modules equivalent to the final year of an honours BSc including a language option. The second year is the regular "MSc in Mathematics and its Applications".
