Which uni for maths

Lancaster has a better ranking for Mathematics than Exeter if that helps?

Have a look at this.

You can also use WhichUni to see which university is for you since rankings don't always imply it's better for you.

True but in another league table exeter is slightly higher than lancaster. Exeter is russel group and I don't really know if that means something or not.

You need to ask yourself a few questions...

What will affect me while at university?
Have you read reviews?
Have you visited both universities on an open day?

This makes for a very valid point but I continue to stress to people that doing a degree is nothing like studying pre-university where the curriculum is set in stone. Rather you should be looking at course modules to find out if they interest you, particularly with mathematics which is such an extensive field and has so many field and sub-fields most of which you may never get to encounter. So it really is about yourself and finding out what you enjoy, because if you do not enjoy your degree, you will struggle. I struggled to stay motivated during my degree due to the type of mathematics which was being taught, I did not find it as challenging or exciting as other kinds.

Whilst I do agree with you, it would be hard for someone who has never studied these fields to know which they'd enjoy. I think a good idea is to choose a degree that is flexible, with options in many areas.
