Why mathematicsat The Universityof Nottingham?

University mathematics is a subject of

immense scope and application. It is the

language of science, engineering and

commerce. As a consequence, a mathematics

degree opens up a wide variety of careerchoices, and our students are very successful

in the employment market.

The University of Nottingham has a strong

commitment to teaching and research of the

highest quality, and we have an excellent record

in independent reviews.

The School

The School of Mathematical Sciences is a large

and thriving centre with high standards in

undergraduate education, postgraduate education,

and research. We currently have over 50 permanent

academic staff, around 20 research staff and

over 70 postgraduates. Each year we welcome

approximately 200 students onto our various

undergraduate degree courses. Our staff numbers

ensure both an excellent provision for teaching

(eg in enabling small-group tutorials) and also

a wide diversity of mathematical topics and

options to study in our courses.

Academic staff in the School have national and

international reputations for the excellence of their

research, and have extensive research links with

colleagues in industry and academia, both in the

UK and overseas.This research background helps

us to ensure that we offer up-to-date degree

courses that give you an insight into cutting-edge

mathematics. Our best students have the

opportunity to stay on and carry out research

leading to higher degrees, typically a PhD.

Your tutor

While at Nottingham, you will have a personal

and academic tutor, who will guide your studies

and help you to select modules that match your

interests and ambitions. Your tutor is your first

port of call in the School if you have any

problems or questions.

Your tutor will take an interest in your personal

and academic development and offer you help,

encouragement and guidance.

Teaching

Teaching is primarily by lectures, supportedby problem classes (sessions in which you practise

solving problems with support from academic

staff), small-group tutorials and private study.

In addition, some modules involve computer

practicals or laboratory work. You will typically be

expected to work for around 35 hours per week,

with about half of this time devoted to private study.

During your time at Nottingham, in addition

to gaining academic knowledge, you will also have

an opportunity to develop other skills. Examples

are communication and presentation skills, the

use of information technology, time management,

independent learning, project work and self-

organisation. Not only are these skills desirable

in your own personal development, but also in

todays employment market. For those students

considering a career in teaching, we havea final-year module that lets you get direct

experience of delivering mathematics lessons

in local schools.

Assessment

Your work will be assessed in a variety of ways,

including traditional written examinations,

coursework assignments, dissertations, computing

assignments, essays and laboratory reports.

Computing

During your course, you will use computers for

a variety of purposes, from performing numerical

and algebraic calculations, to communicating with

staff and other students by email. One of the keycomputer applications that you will learn is

computer algebra, which can be used to carry out

a wide range of mathematical techniques, from

plotting graphs to solving complicated systems

of equations.

No prior computing knowledge is assumed,

and we will train you to use the University

computing facilities when you arrive here.

When I decided to study

mathematics to degree level, I was

attracted by the flexibility and

varied content of the course at

Nottingham.

Careers

Teaching

In common with all schools or departments

of mathematics in England and Northern Ireland,

our teaching has been independently reviewed

in the Quality Assurance Agency Subject Review,

and we were awarded a mark of 23 out of 24.

The reviewers commented particularly on:

the high calibre of our students and

their high level of achievement whileat Nottingham

the strong employment record of

our graduates

the extremely effective support we

offer our students and

the plentiful IT provision at Nottingham

Research

In the most recent Research Assessment Exercise

(2008), we are proud that over 60 per cent of the

Schools research in pure mathematics, applied

mathematics and statistics was judged to be

world-leading or internationally excellent.This means that you will be taught by members

of academic staff who are world authorities in

many areas of mathematics.

In applied mathematics, our areas of research

expertise include quantum gravity, complex and

disordered systems, quantum information theory

and computing, mathematical medicine, biology

and neuroscience, industrial mathematics, fluid

mechanics and solid mechanics. In statistics,

we specialise in stochastic modelling of epidemics,

statistical shape and image analysis, Bayesian

multilevel modelling and probability theory.

Our main research interests in pure mathematicsare number theory and arithmetic geometry,

algebra and mathematical analysis.

Although these may mean nothing to you at the

moment, when you come to study with us, you

will have the opportunity to understand and

develop an interest in one or more of these areas,

since our research interests inform and shape

the third and fourth years of our courses.

These advanced courses allow you to come close

to the frontiers of mathematical research.

The University of Nottingham has an

excellent reputation for successful

graduate employment. Our Centre for

Career Development can help you find

employment, with invitations to recruitment

sessions by employers, individual careers

advice and a vacancy information service.

In addition, the School has a specialised careers

programme to help you develop your curriculumvitae (CV) and start early planning for your

future career.

Mathematics is a wide-ranging and versatile

subject, and the list of careers open to you as a

mathematics graduate is extensive. Some make

specific use of mathematics, others use the more

general skills they have gained, such as analysis

and problem solving, high-level numeracy and a

capacity to learn independently.

Our graduates are in high demand from prospective

employers, and have been well received into

a broad range of careers in commerce, industry,

the professions and government. The Universityof Nottingham is one of a small number of leading

universities whose graduates are targeted for

recruitment by various top companies.

Of our graduates entering the employment

market directly after graduation, typical recent

destinations were:

financial services (eg accountancy,

actuarial work, banking)

IT (eg programming, systems analysis,

software engineering)

industrial (eg management, research

and development, retail)

government (eg civil service,

taxation, cryptography)

Postgraduate research

Rather than directly entering the employment

market upon graduating, you might decide to

continue your studies at higher degree level,

either here at Nottingham or elsewhere.

In previous years, our students have achieved

higher degrees in subjects such as mathematics,

computing, education and engineering. Each year

some of our best students choose to stay at

Nottingham and join our lively group of

postgraduate research students in the Schoolof Mathematical Sciences.

Our three divisions Applied, Pure and Statistics

each offer a large number of diverse and interesting

research projects, in the research areas described

earlier, and many others. Please see our website

for further details www.maths.nottingham.ac.uk

I chose Nottingham because Id heard it was a really good university. Also, I didnt want to be in

the middle of a city, and Nottingham offers a good balance of a campus and a city.

When I came to visit, I liked the campus and everyone was really friendly. The accommodation is on

campus along with departmental buildings, the library and the Students Union, so you dont even

have to go into the city if you dont want to.

Now Ive started the course, Ive found it to be excellent. Theres a lot of choice, and you can tailor

your degree to focus on the areas you want to. I particularly enjoy statistics I didnt like it at school

and at A level it was my worst area of maths, but I really enjoy it at Nottingham.

The lecturers are all very approachable they have office hours when you can go and see them or

you can email them, and theyll get back to you quickly. You also have a personal tutor who you meet

on a weekly basis. In the first year, we looked at problem solving in the tutorials this really helped

with the transition from A levels to university. Its good to know theres a specific member of staff

you can talk to, too.

I use the library a lot Ive never had to buy my books because theyve always been in stock.

Weve got our own computer rooms too, which is handy, and the longer youre here, the more you

learn the best places to find free ones!

I used to be in the Trampolining Society, because I wanted to carry it on from school, and now Im on

the committee of the Maths Society. My role as sports secretary involves organising weekly netball

matches against other societies, and now were trying to set up tennis matches, too. Besides the

sports events, there are lots of social and careers activities. Weve been to Laser Quest, for example,and weve invited people from an actuary company in to talk about getting into that field.

I stayed in halls in my first year, which was the perfect way to make friends. You meet lots of people

and have the opportunity to get involved in lots of different things plus, it was a five-minute walk

from the maths building!

Looking ahead, Ive been offered an actuarial consulting job with Xafinity. My degree has helped me

develop skills like organisation, teamwork and giving presentations, which will all be helpful to me.

There are often more exams to take in the field I want to go into, so the techniques I have developed

at University will help me with those.

Top tip: Take advantage of all the opportunities offered to you, including the subsidiary modules.

Applying for a place

Admissions procedures

You should apply to us through the Universities

and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS). Most

applicants will have studied three or more A levels

and will be expected to achieve grade A in A level

mathematics. Our offers are generally based

on grades achieved in three A levels, and all

subjects are accepted with a small number of

exceptions which include general studies and

critical thinking. For our joint honours courses,

it is not always necessary to have studied the

non-mathematics component at A level. Other

qualifications (International Baccalaureate,

BTEC, etc) are considered on an individual

basis, with offers equivalent in standard to

the A level package.

Financial support

Organising your finances is an important part of

planning for university. At Nottingham, we offer a

generous financial support scheme to ensure our

courses are more accessible to students from all

backgrounds. For details of the bursaries

available, please visit the finance pages at

www.nottingham.ac.uk/ugstudy

Two mathematics A levels?

We do not require you to have studied further

mathematics and we recognise that some schools

and colleges offer limited support for this subject.

While the extra mathematical experience gained

by taking further mathematics at A level or AS

level may be helpful to you in your first year,

you should not be disadvantaged in subsequent

years of study if you have not taken these.

However, we do anticipate that most applicants

taking further mathematics will gain a grade

A. If you are studying further mathematics

with little support (for example, by self-study)

then you should make this clear in the personal

statement on your UCAS application form.

Advanced Extension Award?

We recognise that many schools cannot provide the

support required for students to take the Advanced

Extension Award (or STEP) in Mathematics.

Therefore we do not ask for this qualification.

Mature applicants

Mature applicants (students over 21 on entry

to their course), like all others, are considered

on academic merit. You are advised to contact

us to discuss the suitability of your background

and qualifications.

Part-time degrees

The School does not currently offer any part-time

degree courses.

Gap year

You may wish to defer entry to university for a year

to gain experience relevant to your degree or to

carry out some other form of personal fulfilment.

If so, you should let us know as soon as possible.

Whether or not you take a gap year will not affect

the way we process your application or any offer

you receive from us.

Study abroad

You may be able to spend a semester of your third

or fourth year studying abroad, either in another

European country, or further afield with one of

Nottingham's partners in the Universitas 21

group. We currently have links with universities

in France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Finland, Australia

and Canada. If you are interested, it is something

you can consider, with guidance from our Director

of International Affairs, in year two of your course.

If you have a disability

We particularly encourage you to visit the

University in advance of your application, to view

our facilities. The Universitys aim is to provide a

high level of support and guidance from the

moment you first enquire to the moment you

graduate. Like all others, your application is

considered on its academic merit. Further

information about support that the University

can offer you during your studies is available at

www.nottingham.ac.uk/academicsupport

International students

At Nottingham, we have a thriving community of

international students from over 140 countries.

Our International Office provides dedicated

support and arranges cultural, social and sporting

events. International Student Advisers work in the

International Office to deal with any queries you

may have about immigration, work permits or

any other personal or academic issues. If you pay

overseas fees, you are guaranteed University-

arranged accommodation for three years (see the

Undergraduate Prospectus or website for details).

International scholarships

Each year we offer scholarships to a number of

our best international applicants. The details vary

from year to year, but are typically worth at least

2,000 in each year of study. To find out more,

please contact us or visit the School web pages.

Accommodation guarantee

Having suitable accommodation while at university

is of considerable importance. The University of

Nottingham offers a guarantee of University-

arranged accommodation for one year to all new

undergraduate students who make Nottingham

their firm choice.There is a wide variety of

accommodation available, including fully catered

halls of residence, self-catering halls, and

University-managed accommodation off campus.
