About Mathematics with a Year Abroad, BSc - at Cardiff University

This four-year degree features an adventure-packed third year studying mathematics at one of our partner universities across the globe.

Year Abroad

Study at a university abroad where you can learn while you travel and experience the practices and culture of a different country.

Flexible degree schemes

In most cases, you're free to switch between degrees at the end of year one if your interests change. You will also have the opportunity to complete a Professional Placement Year or a Year Abroad between years two and three. You don't need to commit to either of these options until the start of the second year, so there's plenty of time to decide.

Support services

Your personal tutor is there to offer advice, in confidence, on both academic and non-academic matters. You will also have access to weekly tutorials, supervised computer laboratories and daily drop-in sessions for one-to-one support.

Excellent facilities

You will be taught in Abacws, the new home for the School of Mathematics. This world-leading facility has been designed in collaboration with students and academic staff to create interdisciplinary, flexible and creative workspaces, with innovative teaching areas being a key feature, including a new simulated Trading Room for financial mathematics.

Professionally accredited course

This degree is accredited by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA).

Explore new cultures and practices while you delve deeper into the fascinating world of mathematics. You will gain knowledge and skills that will prepare you for the workplace, and not only in jobs which use maths directly. A mathematics qualification is well-respected by employers; your numerical, logical thinking and problem-solving skills enable you to tackle a variety of roles.

On this course, you will study at a university abroad during your third year before returning to Cardiff for a final year. Our School has agreements with universities across the globe, and you will have support to apply for your overseas year.

Studying abroad is a great way to broaden your academic knowledge, immerse yourself in another culture and gain skills that could be valued by employers. Not only can it enhance your CV by demonstrating key skills such as communication, flexibility and collaborative working, it can also provide you with valuable networking opportunities. Above all, it is the start of a new adventure. A chance to experience other cultures and viewpoints, make new friends and share unforgettable experiences.
