Course summary

What this course is about

UCAS code: G1Q5

Here's what University of Aberdeen says about its Mathematics with Gaelic course.

Mathematics allows you to study a major universal language we all use that you can combine with Gaelic language studies.

Mathematics is a powerful universal language used to describe situations in abstract terms. At the heart of manipulation with abstract mathematical objects are precision, logical thinking and reasoning skills. Studying and doing mathematics requires a high level of communication skills. Employers highly value these skills and the subsequent versatility of our graduates.

The Gaelic Studies aspect of the degree programme can be studied at beginner, intermediate or advanced level to suit.

Both the MA and BSc Mathematics degrees study the same core maths courses. The difference comes in the choices that students can make through their optional courses.

The modules you will study

View all modules on the programme page to find out more about what you will be studying and when. University of Aberdeen modules are designed to give you breadth and depth to your degree. The range of modules you study will allow you to become proficient in all subjects which are directly relevant to your degree giving you greater career options.

How you will be assessed

The use of various forms of assessment and learning environments facilitates the development of generic transferable skills enhancing student employability.

Students are assessed by any combination of three assessment methods: coursework such as essays and reports completed throughout the course; practical assessments of the skills and competencies they learn on the course; and written examinations at the end of each course. The exact mix of these methods differs between subject areas, years of study and individual courses.

Honours projects are typically assessed on the basis of a written dissertation.

The library facilities are superb and accessible to everyone. University accommodation is basic and so expensive so one would rather get student an accommodation outside of university accommodation.
