Kingston University London

Mathematics

The School of Mathematics offers a range of full and joint honours undergraduate courses in mathematics and statistics. This includes courses in Mathematical Sciences and Actuarial Science, and joint honours in Mathematics, Financial Mathematics and Statistics with Business, as well as with a range of computing and science combinations. The courses are delivered by highly qualified staff with a long-standing reputation for excellence in teaching in an exciting and challenging environment for learning with modern, well-equipped facilities.
Our degrees focus on modern, readily applicable aspects of mathematics and statistics, giving the opportunity to explore how numerical approaches may be used in business, government and science. This practical approach is a key feature of our courses, but we also cover the underlying theoretical principles since a firm foundation is required to give you the confidence to tackle new and exciting problems.

We embrace computing as an aid because that reflects what happens in the real world – where you will have machines to do the routine work and help with the detailed calculations, leaving you to concentrate on the more interesting challenges. We will show you new ideas and techniques and then teach you to apply them in practical ways. We don’t expect you to learn loads of formulae – we’ll give you those in exams – but we’ll test how you use them.
