BSc Mathematics
UCAS code: G100
Duration: 4 years
Delivery: Full-time
School: Mathematics
College: Science and Engineering
Introducing BSc Mathematics
Mathematics at university encourages you to think in an entirely different way.
You will develop a rigorous mindset and be introduced to new mathematical concepts not explored at school level.
By the end of your programme, you will specialise in an area of your particular mathematical interest.
This new way of approaching and analysing complex problems is a particularly valuable skill, applicable to many exciting career paths. This makes mathematics graduates extremely employable.
Optional courses
In Years 1 and 2, you will study your mathematics courses as well as optional courses in other subjects. These may be in related areas such as physics or informatics, or from the wide and varied range offered across the University, such as philosophy or languages.
From Year 3 onwards, you will study only your degree subject.
Flexibility between BSc and MMath
You can change between the BSc and MMath programmes up until the beginning of Year 4, subject to strong academic performance.
Second year entry
This degree programme offers the option to start your studies in Year 2 and study an accelerated degree programme. This option shortens the length of your degree by a year, meaning the BSc degree takes three years instead of four.
On this route, you will focus on mathematics from the beginning, rather than studying a broader range of subjects in Years 1 and 2.
For information about the programme structure, please see the details listed under 'What you will study' (Year 2).
Entry requirements for this accelerated programme can be found under the Second Year Entry drop-down section.
(Revised 15 April 2024 to remove the ‘Only apply to one Mathematics programme’ section from the introduction)
What you will study
This is a four-year programme.
In your first two years, you will study mathematics alongside your choice of outside subjects. At this stage, the mathematics courses are mostly compulsory. This allows you to develop as a well-rounded mathematician and widens your options for specialisation later on.
From Year 3 onwards, you will study mathematics only.
Year 3 is when you can begin to specialise in an area of mathematics, while still taking some core compulsory courses. This gives you free choice of courses for Year 4 when you can specialise in your particular area of interest.
Please note: the courses below may be subject to change.
You will take a number of compulsory courses. These have previously included:
- Introduction to Linear Algebra
- Calculus and its Applications
- Proofs and Problem Solving
These are common to all our mathematics programmes and will take up half of your timetable. They build on your knowledge of pure mathematics and introduce you to the more rigorous ways of mathematical thinking required at university level.
The rest of your timetable will mostly be made up of subjects other than mathematics.
We also offer optional mathematics courses, for example:
Introduction to Data Science, where you will learn to collect and explore data, before using models and predictions to make rigorous conclusions.
Fundamentals of Algebra and Calculus, an online, introductory course that provides extra preparation in key topics from advanced high school level mathematics and supports your transition to university.
In Year 2, you will spend between half and two-thirds of your time on mathematics.
You will study a number of compulsory courses that will extend your knowledge of calculus, probability and analysis and introduce you to the abstract ideas of group theory. They also cover topics in statistics and applied mathematics. Compulsory courses have previously included:
- Fundamentals of Pure Mathematics
- Several Variable Calculus and Differential Equations
- Computing and Numerics
- Probability
Optional and outside courses
The rest of your time will be made up of a combination of optional mathematics courses or subjects other than mathematics. Your outside courses can follow on from your choices in Year 1, or explore other subject areas.
Facets of Mathematics is an optional Year 2 mathematics course. In this course, you will explore the wide range of applications of mathematics, and develop skills in teamwork and presenting mathematics. This course is assessed by coursework only.
For students taking the accelerated programme, you will study compulsory Year 2 mathematics courses as well as specially designed courses that cover the compulsory material from Year 1, for example:
- Accelerated Algebra and Calculus
- Accelerated Proofs and Problem Solving
As a result, you will study mostly mathematics from the start, rather than having a breadth of subjects available to you. Most students have space for just one outside course from another subject.
The accelerated programme is more challenging than our broad programmes as you will be learning Years 1 and 2 content alongside one another. As a result, it has different entry requirements which can be seen in the Second Year Entry section below.
From this year onwards, you will focus on the main subjects of your programme.
You will study a number of compulsory mathematics courses. These have previously included:
- Honours Algebra
- Honours Analysis
- Honours Complex Variables
- Honours Differential Equations
These courses provide an excellent grounding in advanced mathematics and prepare you for the options available later on.
Each honours course contains a skills component. This enables you to develop valuable employability skills such as:
- programming
- presentation skills
The rest of your time will be spent studying other courses from the School of Mathematics. This is when you will begin to specialise and narrow your mathematical focus.
Previous optional courses have included:
- Financial Mathematics
- Introduction to Number Theory
- Statistical Computing
In Year 4, you will complete at least one of the following:
- a research project
- our Mathematical Education course
- our Statistical Case Studies course
Research project
Completing the project allows you to research a topic in-depth. You can do this as a group or individually.
Mathematical Education course
If you choose this option, you will learn about the theories of learning and teaching mathematics. Then you will put your knowledge into practice; taking short placements at local primary schools or organising revision sessions for local Advanced Higher students.
Statistical Case Studies course
This course allows you to undertake consultancy-style projects as part of a team. Projects will focus on data analysis problems using complex, real-world data.
You will also choose from a wide range of mathematics courses to create a programme that suits your particular interests and career aspirations.
Our course selection is influenced by our School's varied research interests. We offer a large selection of courses in:
- pure mathematics
- applied mathematics
- operational research
- financial mathematics
- mathematical biology
- mathematical education
To find out more about the School of Mathematics' broad ranging research interests, take a look at our Researchers on Record video series.

Programme structure (2024/25)
Where you will study
Our facilities.
The School of Mathematics is based in the James Clerk Maxwell Building at the King's Buildings campus. Your mathematics teaching will take place at the King's Buildings campus throughout your degree.
Note: your outside subjects in Years 1 and 2 may be taught on other campuses, so you may need to travel between campuses for classes.
Take a virtual tour of our School
You can take a closer look at the School of Mathematics and explore our facilities and campus on the University's Virtual Visit site.
Virtual visit – School of Mathematics
Study abroad
You will have opportunities to study abroad through exchange programmes. Students have recently completed placements in:
- British Columbia
Exchanges are typically taken in Year 3, before returning to Edinburgh to complete Year 4. They are available to students on both the broad programme and the accelerated programme (second year entry).
What are my options for going abroad?
Learning and assessment
How will i learn.
Mathematics is taught through a mixture of lectures and workshops.
You will have about 15 hours of teaching each week. However, this varies depending on your year of study and your chosen outside subjects.
In Year 1, lectures are usually interactive; lecturers use online voting systems and encourage small-group discussions to improve your understanding of core material.
These lectures are linked to your subject reading, so you will be familiar with the content before you attend.
Lectures in later years follow a more 'traditional' lecturing style but occasionally include the voting system.
Lectures are supported by small-group workshops. These sessions give you the opportunity to apply the concepts you have learned in lectures, and to develop your understanding. You will work with five to six other students, with a tutor on hand to support you and answer questions.
You will have access to broad-ranging support from within the School of Mathematics, including:
- drop-in Year 1 mathematics support
- option to take part in our peer-assisted learning scheme, MathPALS
- Mathematics Student Services team
How will I be assessed?
Mathematics courses are mostly assessed through exams.
In your first and second year, these exams are primarily 'open book' exams, where you can use your textbook and notes. This allows you to concentrate on understanding and using the ideas and concepts involved, rather than memorising procedures.
In later years, there is a mixture of open and closed-book exams, depending on the course.
Most mathematics courses have regular assessments throughout the year, both written and online, so you can get feedback on your progress. These typically count for a small part of your course grade.
Later in the degree, there are some courses available which are entirely assessed by coursework, usually in the form of reports, posters, projects or presentations.
Career opportunities
As a mathematics graduate, you will have a wide range of careers open to you.
You will develop skills that are highly sought-after by employers:
- logical and analytic abilities
- data analysis
- practical problem-solving
Our graduates
Many recent graduates have been employed by large firms in the financial sector. Others have gone into fields including:
- software engineering
- the civil service
Further study is also a popular option. You can progress from this programme into masters or PhD level study in mathematics, or apply your mathematical training to postgraduate study in another subject.
We regularly invite alumni back to share their experiences and showcase the range of careers available to you.
Enhance your CV
Within the School of Mathematics, you will have many opportunities to develop your skills and enhance your CV. For example:
- Share your love of mathematics by working with the wider community as a member of our Outreach Team.
