Mathematics: you either love it or hate it! If you love it, it might be a subject you want to consider studying at university, but it’s a big commitment and you probably have a lot of questions about where a degree in the subject can take you after you graduate, how difficult it will be, or even just want an insight into what to expect from your studies.
Maths is challenging but rewarding: there is a lot of work to put in, and it can take quite a while for your understanding to kick in, but when it finally clicks it feels so satisfying.
Some of the modules covered include:
- Linear and Differential Equations
- Transformations
- Cosmology
- Mathematical Biology
As you can see, there is a real diversity in the course, and the variety of fields you could possibly go into after you graduate.
It’s definitely quite an intense subject to study: there are a lot of contact hours, and each week there is normally coursework to complete for every module studied. At the end of each semester, expect four or five exams.
While being good at Maths obviously requires you have a natural inclination towards it, you can’t rely on that alone at university level: you need to work hard and persevere to succeed.
