You will be mathematically challenged in the best way possible!

What made you want to study your course?
My love for mathematics came from A-Levels where I discovered there's more to mathematics than you think. I can't explain the satisfaction you feel after completing a difficult question especially using new methods and creative approaches.
What made you decide to study at the University of Sheffield?
The Sheffield Open Day was a breath of fresh air. The mathematics department was incredibly welcoming and personal, I got the chance to talk directly to lecturers and it just felt right.
What have you enjoyed most about your course so far?
Overall the best part is the range of things you can learn, I know more now than I ever thought I would and in so many areas. The lectures develop your understanding gently and ensure you really understand what you've learnt, this has made my university life significantly better.
What skills have you developed during your course?
I now have the ability to approach any challenge, my problem solving has developed ten fold and I'm confident to apply myself in many new ways. Mathematics has given me this opportunity with independent projects, coding labs and exams.
What would you say to a student thinking about studying your course at Sheffield?
Sheffield cares about your development personally so if you're thinking of studying mathematics at Sheffield it's a great choice. All the lecturers and personal tutors want to see you excel and you will be mathematically challenged in the best way possible!
