Mathematics with a Year Abroad University of East Anglia

Overview

Our prestigious four-year Master of Mathematics with a Year Abroad  degree programme at the University of East Anglia  has a flexible format, allowing you to combine modules from pure and applied mathematics and statistics, together with optional modules from other UEA Schools. You’ll begin by developing your existing mathematical knowledge, before moving onto more advanced subjects as the course progresses. In later years, our optional modules mean that you can tailor your studies around your interests. In the second year, you can also take optional modules from other Schools, like the School of Environmental Sciences, the School of Computing Sciences, or Norwich Business School, offering you a breath of choice and opportunity. 

You’ll spend your third year abroad studying at one of our partner universities across North America, Australia, or Europe, choosing modules from those on offer at your choice of institution. As well as enriching your mathematical knowledge, your time abroad is a great way to build contacts and strengthen your resilience and adaptability, as well as being an unforgettable and life-changing experience.   

Returning to UEA for your final year, you’ll choose more specialised and in-depth mathematics modules, taught by leading experts. You’ll also work with an academic supervisor on a substantial individual research project. This will give you experience in independent study and help you to develop key career skills such as literature reviewing, critical thinking, report writing and oral presentation.  

You’ll not only graduate with a deep understanding of mathematics, but also with fantastic career prospects. If you complete your studies with distinction, you may want to join our group of postgraduate students, as our integrated Master’s programme is excellent preparation for a career in research – either in industry or within a university. This is just one of the many challenging and stimulating career paths open to you after you graduate.
