The Mathematics MSci will give you the basis you need in advanced mathematics. In your fourth year you will conduct a research project, pursuing your own academic interests and acquiring the skill of independent academic research. This course leads to careers where mathematics is used technically, including industrial and academic research and finance, but will also suit those who wish to deepen their undergraduate studies. You may have the opportunity to transfer to the five-year Mathematics with a Year Abroad MSci programme where you will spend your third or fourth year abroad at a partner institution before returning to King’s to complete your studies. This depends on you reaching a certain grade average and being accepted by a partner university. Women in STEM Scholarship The Faculty funds a scholarship for female undergraduate applicants, as part of its commitment to increasing the representation of women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics).
