  The Cambridge undergraduate mathematics course is widely recognized not only as the most demanding
undergraduate mathematics course available in Britain but also as one of the most rewarding. It is one

of the largest such courses, having an intake of about 250 students each year.
In the first year only there are two options:

(a) Pure and Applied Mathematics;
(b) Mathematics with Physics

Applicants for the two options are considered together: there is no quota of places for the different options

and the mathematical criteria for admission are the same for option (b) as for option (a). Within each

option, there is no choice of courses.

In the second year, there is only one option, but there is some choice both in the number of courses  

you, take and the areas of mathematics you study. In the third year, there are 36 courses to choose from, and

you can choose the number of courses you take (typically about 8), the level of difficulty of the coursesand the areas of mathematics you study.

1   Although the BA degree course in mathematics lasts three years, the undergraduate course continues to

an optional fourth year which leads to the M.Math degree in addition to the BA. It is a taught course

(i.e. not based on a dissertation) and serves to bridge the gap between the end of the BA degree course

and the frontiers of research. Admission to the fourth year is conditional on the results of previous years

and about one third of our students stay on for the fourth year. They are joined by students from all

parts of the world who take this course as a one-year graduate course.

2 Why Maths?

Here are some reasons often given for studying Mathematics at university.

• You find mathematics interesting — which is the only valid reason.

• You are good at mathematics. This is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition (as mathematicians

would say).

• The job prospects are excellent. It is true that employers love mathematicians because mathematics

is all about the vital skill of problem solving, but this on its own is not a good reason for choosing

to study mathematics.

3 Why Cambridge Maths?

Here are some reasons for studying Mathematics at Cambridge.

• Cambridge is, according to recent surveys, one of the top few universities in the world.

• The Cambridge mathematics course is one of the very best mathematics courses in the UK.

• The fourth year of our mathematics course (called Part III) is world famous and a breeding ground

for future leaders in mathematical research.

• Cambridge colleges offer a level of academic, pastoral and financial support that is possibly equalled

but certainly not surpassed in any UK universities.

• Cambridge is a beautiful, ancient and vibrant city
