King's College London

Our integrated Master’s in Mathematics with a Year in Industry provides a rigorous foundation in advanced mathematical theory and its applications. You’ll develop a well-rounded knowledge of key subdisciplines while having the flexibility to specialise in areas that interest you.

In your first and second years, you'll cover core subjects like calculus, algebra, probability, and statistics. From your second year onwards, you can choose to specialise in specific areas or explore a broad range of subjects with extensive options in fourth year. The course equips you with a highly sought-after skillset, enabling you to apply creative and deductive thinking to a range of exciting careers, including in emerging technologies such as big data and AI.

You will spend your third year gaining valuable work experience with a year-long placement at a UK company before returning to complete your final two years with us. Finding an industry placement will require students to be resourceful and engaged. The Faculty has dedicated placement support providing advice and host employer-led events, ensuring you have all the tools to secure the right placement for you.

You'll also apply your knowledge directly to a dissertation, working one-on-one with a world-class expert in the field, and through an in-depth, six-month project in fourth year, where you'll tackle a problem at the frontiers of research.

The Department of Mathematics at King’s College London has a long and distinguished history as a world-leading centre for research and education. By joining us, you will learn from and work alongside some of the foremost mathematical minds in the world. Our goal is to develop graduates with a pioneering mindset through research-led teaching, which encourages new ways of looking at familiar issues and develops innovative tools to solve complex problems.

Our MSci course develops your proficiency across all branches of mathematics. In pure mathematics you’ll cover topics including algebra, analysis, geometry and number theory, and in applied mathematics you’ll explore complex systems, probability, statistics and theoretical physics. From second year onwards you can specialise in the areas that interest you, or take a broader approach – with a broad array of modules to choose from in fourth year. If you choose to specialise throughout your degree, this can be reflected in your final award, meaning you can graduate with a Master's in Mathematics and Pure Mathematics, Theoretical Physics, or Complex Systems.
