    Difference between Financial Mathematics and Mathematics with Finance?
    There's the main difference, being that Financial Maths is classed as a single honours course whereas Maths with Finance is a combined honours with a major in Maths (as far as my research tells me), but I'm struggling to clearly distinguish between the two otherwise.

    From searching for each course on UCAS it seems the majority of unis do one course or the other, but then there's Manchester who offers Maths with Finance or Maths with Financial Maths, so I guess there must be some sort of distinguishing feature between them?

    I was just wondering if anyone would be able to help me clear this up a little? Thanks! :thumbsup:
