Mathematics

See the other subjects we offer

Mathematics is essential to modern society, from the development of new technologies to the numerical modelling of financial systems.

You can study mathematics as a single honours degree or combine it with other subjects, such as economics, finance and investment banking, computer science, or statistics and data science.

All of our courses enable you to learn coding and programming skills. The world is increasingly reliant on computing and digital information, and the digital economy is growing rapidly in the UK and internationally, so graduates with these skills are in high demand from employers.

You will receive plenty of support to help you get the most out of your studies, including:

  • small-group problem-solving tutorials, peer-assisted learning, and materials to help you manage the transition to university-level mathematics
  • dedicated support to help you gain a relevant industry placement, or to apply for summer research work through the Reading Internship Scheme
  • the Department's staff–student forums and the student teaching and learning group, which enable you to have a direct input into the student experience.

Most of our courses are accredited by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, the body that awards Chartered Mathematician status. Please see our course pages for more information.
