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

The MMath degree will help you gain a competitive edge in the graduate employment market or prepare for a research career, all while exploring other cultures and practices on a Year Abroad.

Year Abroad

Specialist knowledge

Alongside learning advanced mathematical techniques, you will gain specialist knowledge and skills through extensive coverage of topics beyond the scope of the BSc degree.

Project-based year

During your final year, you will have the opportunity to complete a substantial mathematical project at an advanced level in a research area of your choice.

Excellent facilities

You will be taught in Abacws, the new home for the School of Mathematics.

The MMath degree expands on the BSc to prepare you for high-level entry into relevant professions. It's also a solid base for pursuing a research career.

You will learn the same content as the four-year BSc with a Year Abroad degree, plus an additional year where you will complete a major piece of project work, such as:
