The BSc Honours (Research Orientation) degree programme in Mathematics intends to provide a deep and broad understanding of mathematics itself by focusing on understanding structures, patterns and conceptual relationships that lie in the core of mathematics. The core of the Mathematics honours degree programme consists of Algebra, Analysis and Topology/ Geometry which are traditionally considered as three main areas of Pure Mathematics.  Mathematics is a challenging intellectual pursuit which provides an enormous excitement and satisfaction. The ideas develop in pure mathematics underpin patterns and structures that appear in modern science and technology and hence it plays a vital role in the development of science and technology.

 The final year Pure Mathematics research project provides an opportunity for students to develop mathematical independence, experience open-ended inquiry and develop skills in speaking and writing about mathematics with high level sophistication. While the degree programme provides a solid preparation for further studies and research in both pure and applied mathematics, students have numerous opportunities of developing a range of skills such as critical thinking ability, creative problem solving ability and perseverance which are adaptable to diverse career options.
