Assessment:

• Assessment for all degrees is through a combination of examinations and coursework.
• Examinations are the more important part of the process, but the coursework helps you to work steadily throughout your degree.
• Written examinations for mathematics modules are held in January and May/June of the first and second years and in May/June of each subsequent year.
• Some modules have tests, essays, presentations and/or project reports that contribute to the assessment.

Teaching:

• All our degrees involve a combination of teaching methods, including lectures, seminars, examples classes, workshops and tutorials.
• Most modules in mathematics involve three one-hour lectures per week, so you typically have 12 lectures per week.
• In the first year there are tutorial classes for each module every fortnight, except for modules involving computing or project work.
• You will be allocated a personal tutor who will be happy to advise or put you in touch with support services.
• You will benefit from teaching by academic staff comprising internationally-recognised mathematicians, scientists and practitioners active across a wide range of topics in pure and applied mathematics, statistics and applications.

Careers:

• Exeter has an excellent reputation with graduate recruiters and a strong employment record.
• Our graduates excel in specialist mathematical fields and across a broad range of other sectors.
• You’ll be able to meet with local and national employers who regularly visit the university to engage with students, hosting mock interviews, CV workshops, drop-ins and lectures.
• Our Careers Service also host a wealth of employer activity, such as Careers Fairs.
