Overview

Maths isn’t just numbers and theory. It’s a key to unlocking your future.

The skills and ideas you’ll learn on this course are in demand in many exciting careers – from finance to computing, engineering, science and media.

At Kent, we focus on application as well as theory. We’ll give you a firm grounding in core principles such as algebra, probability and statistics. But you’ll also learn how you can solve real-world challenges with machine learning, data analysis, cryptography, numerical methods and optimisation techniques.

Through experiential learning and industry-led projects, we’ll challenge you to apply what you learn - and help you develop in-demand skills such as programming, technical writing, communication, and problem-solving. Mathematicians today are playing pivotal roles in tackling huge global challenges, from addressing inequality and climate change, to advancing AI and quantum technologies. You’ll be taught by research experts, who will help you discover the many opportunities you have to make a real impact.
