Course Modules

This module introduces you the core competencies that are required to enable development as a professional secondary mathematics teacher and in preparation for the four-week school placement at the end of the module. The content will equip you with the […]

This module provides a grounding in the theory of probability, and is an essential precursor for the subsequent study of mathematical statistics and operations research. The emphasis will be on modelling real situations, including probability calculations motivated by statistical problems.

This module aims to develop techniques in the use of probability in real-world contexts. Exploration of the theoretical mathematical models used to describe patterns of events that occur in time, and in space.

This module builds on the material covered within the first year calculus courses. Calculus will be extended to functions of more than one variable and applications of partial differentiation and multiple integrals.

In recent years, interest in the theory of complex networks has exploded. The advent of social media and progress in artificial intelligence have made network analysis into an indispensable tool. In this course, you will study the mathematical theory that

This module provides opportunities for studying how mathematics education is researched, and changing emphases in mathematics education and in research. It provides insights into key questions, factors and issues associated with the study of school mathematics contexts. It enables you

You will work on placement for ten weeks to support and develop your confidence to teach the whole class in mathematics at Key Stages 3 and 4. You will be able to demonstrate a competent level of subject and pedagogical

In this module, you will build on the material introduced in the first-year module to take a more in-depth look at the idea of estimation. You will learn how to compare the relative strengths and weaknesses of estimators and how

This module focuses on developing pedagogies and skills that enhance specifically the effective teaching of mathematics with cognitive understanding. These are developed alongside an awareness of the historical and contemporary approaches to teaching mathematics responsibly.

Game theory tries to model how decision makers interact during situations of conflict or cooperation. The implications of this theory are widespread and have had a significant impact on many subjects including economic, biology and computer sciences.
