We have been teaching mathematics at King’s throughout our history, and the first Professor of Mathematics was appointed in 1830. Since then, the Department of Mathematics has had many accomplishments in central areas of pure mathematics and applied mathematics.

This single honours course contains modules in all branches of mathematics. In pure mathematics, you can study modules in algebra, analysis, geometry and number theory. In applied mathematics, you can study modules in complex systems, probability, statistics and theoretical physics.

During your first year you will follow a fixed group of modules, but in your second and third years you will have more freedom to choose modules and tailor your degree to suit your interests.

This course is primarily taught at the King’s College London Strand Campus. Our central location gives you easy access to major libraries and many leading societies including the London Mathematical Society and the Royal Society. You will also benefit from the cultural and social offerings of one of the world’s most dynamic and vibrant cities.
