Introduction
Please note: this course is now closed for international applicants for 2023. It remains open for UK applicants.
Do you want to develop the mathematical skills sought out by so many employers? Do you want to follow your passion and pursue further study in mathematics? Are you considering a career in research within academia or industry? If so, this degree is for you.
You’ll study in an intellectually stimulating environment, where you can follow your own mathematical interests by choosing from a wide range of advanced topics in both pure and applied mathematics. You’ll develop your research skills and explore in-depth an area of your choice in your MSc dissertation, supported by one of our expert faculty.
Our research at Sussex plays an important role in the current development of areas as diverse as:
- Analysis and partial differential equations
- Mathematical physics
- Mathematics applied to biology
- Numerical analysis and scientific computing
- Probability and statistics.

Curriculum
We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2022/23. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to COVID-19, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum. We’ll make sure to let our applicants know of material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
We’ll do our best to provide as much optional choice as we can, but timetabling constraints mean it may not be possible to take some module combinations. The structure of a small number of courses means that the order of modules or the streams you choose may determine whether modules are core or optional. This means that your core modules or options may differ from what’s shown below.
Core modules
Core modules are taken by all students on the course. They give you a solid grounding in your chosen subject and prepare you to explore the topics that interest you most.
All year
- Dissertation (Mathematics)
Options
Alongside your core modules, you can choose options to broaden your horizons and tailor your course to your interests. This list gives you a flavour of our options, which are kept under review and may change, for example in response to student feedback or the latest research.
While it’s our aim for students to take their preferred combinations of options, this can’t be guaranteed and will be subject to timetabling. Options may be grouped and if so, students will be able to choose a set number of options from the selection available in any particular group.
