This programme is aimed at students who wish to gain a deep understanding of the concepts of modern mathematics and statistics, and a mastery of the associated skills and technologies. Our students will become autonomous inquisitive learners capable of formulating and creatively solving relevant problems in the language of mathematics and statistics. Our graduates will be in demand by employers and academic research institutesfor their ability to explain, describe and predict using the tools they have learned. We value students who are motivated to find the underlying mathematical causes and reasons for observations and patterns. We aim to provide a teaching and learning environment that develops confidence and independence through a wide variety of interactive formats, both inside and outside the classroom, including lectures, tutorials, webwork, blackboard and computer assisted labs.
Students take 4 core modules. Students take 25 credits from each of their subjects. A further 10 credits can be taken as elective modules.
If you are interested in doing an Internship as part of Stage 4, you must indicate your interest now (in Stage 3). See full details www.ucd.ie/science/careers/internships/students/
