Overview

Mathematics (Pure Mathematics) from University of Cambridge is a nine-month taught masters course in mathematics.

Key facts

After completing the MASt students will be expected to have:

studied advanced material in the mathematical sciences to a level not normally covered in a first degree;
further developed the capacity for independent study of mathematics and problem-solving at a higher level; and

undertaken an extended essay normally chosen from a list covering a wide range of topics.

There are around 280 Part III (MASt and MMath) students each year; almost all are in their fourth or fifth year of university studies. Each year the Faculty offers up to 80 lecture courses in Part III, covering an extensive range of pure mathematics, probability, statistics, applied mathematics and theoretical physics. They are designed to cover those advanced parts of the subjects that are not normally covered in a first-degree course, but which are an indispensable preliminary to independent study and research. Students have a wide choice of the combination of courses they take, though naturally, they tend to select groups of cognate courses. Examples classes and associated marking of (unassessed) example sheets are provided as complementary support to lectures.
