MSc Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Logic / Application and selection

As there is high demand for this course we operate a staged admissions process with selection deadlines throughout the year. 

Due to the competition for places, we give preference to students with grades above our minimum entry requirements. If we make you an offer, you will have 3 weeks in which to accept. Any offers not accepted within 3 weeks will be withdrawn so that an offer can be made to another candidate.

Please visit our Application and Selection section for more information.

We require the following documents before we can consider your application.

• Latest transcripts of study showing all modules completed including credit weighting and grades achieved (and English translation if applicable).
• If you have not yet graduated, a list of the modules that you will be completing in the final year of your degree together with their credit weighting.
• An official document from your university verifying your current weighted average mark if this information is not included in your transcript of study.Please note: this must be recorded as a percentage, not as a GPA grade, and must give the weighted average mark, not an arithmetic average mark.
• We require one reference from someone who has knowledge of your academic ability in support of your application. In most cases, this should be academic, from a lecturer or professor at your last university. In some cases (for example, if your academic studies occurred some time ago), it might be more appropriate to submit a recommendation from those familiar with your professional experience. If you have difficulty in identifying a suitable referee you should ask for advice from the admissions team for your course. We will contact your referee directly after you submit your application and direct them to complete our online reference form.
• Degree certificate if you have already graduated (and English translation if applicable).
• Curriculum vitae (CV) if you graduated more than three years ago.
• Personal Statement. This should be a one-page document and, in particular, should describe why you want to pursue an MSc degree in Mathematics and what area of mathematics you find most interesting and why. It should also mention any projects/dissertation you have written or worked on, along with brief mathematical details of your work.
• If English is not your first language, we also require proof of your English language ability. If you have already taken an English language qualification, please include your certificate with your application. We may be willing to consider your application without this document, but if we choose to make you an offer, the conditions will include IELTS (or equivalent qualification).

You must submit all these supporting documents with your application. If any of the above information is missing, we will not be able to consider your application and it may be rolled forward to the next stage or withdrawn.
