Trinity College London Integrated Skills in English: ISEII at Distinction with Distinction in all sub-tests
* Please note that TOEFL is still acceptable for admission to this programme for both home/EU and international students.
For international students, the Home Office has confirmed that the University can choose to use TOEFL to make its own assessment of English language ability for visa applications to degree level courses. We therefore still accept TOEFL tests taken in the last two years for admission to this programme.
Mathematics is a vast and ever-growing subject which incorporates successful explorations of numerical, geometrical and logical relationships.
It uses reasoned argument from basic postulates and principles to explain the pattern and structure of the world we observe, to suggest pattern and structure as yet unobserved, and in general, provide tools that can be used to understand and manage the universe in which we live. In Pure Mathematics these postulates often take the form of concepts from geometry or properties of numbers, whereas in Applied Mathematics the postulates typically take the form of laws that can be tested rigorously by experiment.
Mathematics provides practitioners with a sophisticated toolbox for use in the manipulation of information, and the means to impose pattern and structure on that information.

Year 1
MATHEMATICS 1
You will take a 40-credit course covering matrices, linear equations, probability, complex numbers, vectors and calculus. You will develop mathematical communication skills through regular small group problem-solving activities.
Year 2
MATHEMATICS 2A: MULTIVARIABLE CALCULUS
MATHEMATICS 2B: LINEAR ALGEBRA
MATHEMATICS 2C: TOPICS IN APPLIED MATHEMATICS
MATHEMATICS 2D: TOPICS IN LINEAR ALGEBRA AND CALCULUS
MATHEMATICS 2E: INTRODUCTION TO REAL ANALYSIS
MATHEMATICS 2F: FOUNDATIONS OF PURE MATHEMATICS
Courses cover multivariable calculus, linear algebra, topics in applied mathematics, classical mechanics and mathematical modelling, introduction to real analysis, topics in pure mathematics including groups, transformations and symmetries. You can also choose to take optional mathematics courses on graphs and networks, and number theory.
Year 3
3H: ANALYSIS OF DIFFERENTIATION AND INTEGRATION
3H: METRIC SPACE AND BASIC TOPOLOGY
3H: MATHEMATICAL METHODS
3H: WRITING AND PRESENTING MATHEMATICS
3H: METHODS IN COMPLEX ANALYSIS
3H: ALGEBRA
3H: MECHANICS OF RIGID AND DEFORMABLE BODIES
3H: DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS
Year 4
If you progress to Honours, you will study a wide range of topics.
The Applied Mathematics courses allow students who prefer the practical and applicable aspects of the subject to concentrate on these elements. The Pure Mathematics courses are ideal for students who prefer the abstract and logical aspects of the subject.
In fourth year you will have the opportunity to specialise in your area of choice and undertake a project carried out under one-to-one supervision.
There is also an opportunity to take an MSci degree over five years, which explores mathematics topics in greater depth and includes an individually supervised research project.
Pre-Sessional English Course
This depends on your starting level. For students aiming for the standard requirement of IELTS 6.5 and starting a degree programme in September we recommend
Foundation Certificate for Science and Engineering
For entry to the 2nd year of an undergraduate degree at the University of Glasgow. Your course length is determined mainly by your English language level (UKVI IELTS score or accepted equivalent).
All students take a set of common or similar modules to gain key skills for university. If your course is longer than 2 terms, you’ll take extra modules focusing on one or more of English language, academic skills and basic subject knowledge.
Many of our graduates go on to careers in the financial services sector or computing, or undertake postgraduate study. Others are employed in industry, using the modelling and problem-solving skills gained on the programme. Our recent graduates have been employed by:
