Course in depth
What this course covers, who it suits and where it leads.
What you'll study
You'll develop a broad mathematical foundation before moving towards specialist areas. A course like this typically begins with calculus and analysis, linear algebra, and probability and statistics. In the second stage, you'll usually progress to real and complex analysis, abstract algebra, and differential equations with applications to modelling. Later, you'll encounter specialist options such as pure mathematics, statistics and data, financial mathematics, applied and modelling, operational research, or an actuarial pathway. Most mathematics degrees culminate in numerical methods and computation alongside a final project or advanced topics module, often involving independent study.
Who it's for
This part-time course suits those balancing study with work or other commitments. It's designed for learners seeking a rigorous grounding in mathematics theory and practice, with flexibility to develop specialist interests through optional modules and an independent project.
Careers & job market
Across mathematics courses nationally, 89% of graduates are in work or further study 15 months after graduating. Of those working, 75% are in highly skilled roles or pursuing further study.

International students
What applying to University of Greenwich from outside the UK involves: fees, English, visa, funding and living costs.
Tuition fees
International tuition is £17,975 / year for this course (from the provider’s fee page). You’re not eligible for UK Tuition Fee or Maintenance Loans, so plan for fees plus living costs upfront.
English language
Most UK undergraduate courses ask for around IELTS 6.0–6.5 (no band below 5.5–6.0), or an accepted equivalent. If you’re just short, most universities run a pre-sessional English course that counts towards the requirement.
Student visa
You’ll usually need a Student visa (Student Route). After you accept an offer the university issues a CAS; you then show funds for fees plus about £1,023–£1,334/month living costs and pay the Immigration Health Surcharge for NHS access.
Scholarships & funding
Many universities offer international/global scholarships (often £2,000–£6,000/yr), check University of Greenwich’s funding pages.
Living costs
Budget roughly £1,100–£1,400/month outside London and £1,400–£1,800/month in London for rent, food and travel; the figure also matters for your visa.
Working while you study
A Student visa usually allows up to 20 hours/week in term time and full-time in holidays, useful alongside study, though not something to rely on for fees.
Visa rules and fees change. Always confirm the current requirements with University of Greenwich and gov.uk before you apply.

What do graduates earn?
See the career and earnings data for Mathematics below (national Graduate Outcomes / LEO figures).
What will it cost me?
For comparison, the standard full-time England tuition cap is up to £9,790 per year in 2026/27; the actual fee varies by course and provider. If you normally live in England, eligible students can apply for a Tuition Fee Loan, plus a Maintenance Loan for living costs. Under Plan 5 you repay 9% of income above £25,000, nothing below that, and the balance is written off after 40 years. See Fees & funding on this page to work out your numbers.
