| | Mathematics (Pure) - Double Major or Major/Minor. As a Double Major BA degree Mathematics (Pure) is taken with 1 or 2 other Arts subjects, which may include Critical Skills, in 1st year 1st year - 30 credits of Mathematics (Pure) is taken with 1 or 2 other Arts subjects in 1st year (excluding groups 1 & 3). Subject Groups.
- Students require a mark of 50% or greater in 1st year Mathematics (Pure) to proceed to 2nd year in Mathematics (Pure). Students attaining a mark below 50%, and who are eligible to proceed to 2nd year, progress to 2nd year Mathematical Studies, or progress with Statistics and other 1st year subject, or with the two other subjects they took in 1st year.
2nd year - Mathematics (Pure) may be taken with another Arts subject, or it may be taken as a Major/Minor with the Arts subject or Statistics
- Optional 10 credit Elective in 2nd year
Final year - In final year, Mathematics (Pure) is taken as a Single Major, on its own, or Major/ Minor or Double Major with your 2nd year subject
Students may apply to study overseas after 2nd year (on Erasmus or Study Abroad) and graduate with a BA (International) after 4 years. See the International Studies website for details. Duration: 3 years (BA) or 4 years (BA International)  Disclaimer
The modules below are indicative of the content associated with this course of study.
The modules are subject to change as the curriculum is revised and reviewed annually. Please check periodically for updates.  | Year 1 | | | Subject Overview - H2 Mathematics or equivalent required to choose Mathematics (Pure) as a subject in the MH101 BA degree.
>Mathematics is the logical and abstract study of pattern. It involves an interplay between the concrete and the abstract: the ever-changing world around us is one of the key inspirations for the invention and investigation of abstract mathematics, and the discoveries of abstract
mathematics have important and unexpected applications in the world around us.
>The Department offers multiple programmes to suit a range of Mathematical backgrounds, from the intensive Pure Mathematics programmes, which are aimed at students with a strong interest in abstract mathematics and a flair for analytical reasoning, to the more applied programmes which appeal to students who enjoy the more concrete areas of the subject. Our Mathematics degrees aim to bridge the gap between school Mathematics and current frontiers of knowledge. You will learn to think hard and rigorously about questions and to solve new problems–invaluable skills that can be transferred to any area of life and any job you hold in future.
A degree in a Mathematical discipline opens the door to jobs in a variety of fields such as finance, trading, insurance, information technology, education, data analysis, scientific research and development. - See CAREER OPTIONS tab for more details about the range of Mathematics options at MU.
- In 1st year, Mathematics (Pure) is taken as a double subject (timetabled in groups 1 and 3) with one or two other Arts subjects excluding groups 1 and 3.
- Admission to 2nd Arts Mathematics (Pure) (MT2DM or MT2MJ) is conditional on students obtaining a mark of 50% or better in the 1st year Mathematics (Pure) (MT1F30) examination.
- 1st year minimum entry requirement: Leaving Certificate (or equivalent) H2 Mathematics.
