Introduction

MSC Pure Mathematics is a Masters program taught at University of Manchester, UK. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time (1 year) options.

The University of Manchester’s MSc Pure Mathematics focuses on advanced pure mathematics. You choose exclusively pure topics or combine your studies with mathematical logic. The course covers study areas including algebra, geometry, number theory, dynamical systems, combinatorics, category theory and more. It also connects topics to the research interests of academic staff in Manchester’s research-led Mathematics Department.

You study through a dedicated research skills unit, a mini-project, and a supervised project. You complete a dissertation on an advanced topic of current or recent research interest. The programme is available as full-time in person and part-time in person with a duration of 1 year.

The course provides preparation for PhD study and careers requiring high-level analytical skills, based on the dissertation and the supervised project work.
