Programme summary

Advance your career with a high-level qualification. Delve deep into the aspects of pure and applied mathematics that interest you, such as fractal geometry, coding theory and calculus of variations.

Entry requirements

You should normally have a minimum of either:

a 2:2 honours degree in mathematics or
a 2:1 honours degree in a subject with a high mathematical content. If you don’t have such a qualification, your application will still be considered, but you may be asked to complete an entry test. Non-graduates will not normally be admitted. Whatever your background, you should assess your suitability by completing our diagnostic quiz (https://ou-identity.open.ac.uk/OU-Identity/authentication/login?samlContext=eu1_638227529589_65b3ab34-0e93-4db3-be37-1ccce54bf6b6). If you’re new to postgraduate study in mathematics, start with a single module: either the applied mathematics module Calculus of variations and advanced calculus (M820) or the pure mathematics module Analytic number theory I (M823).
