Top universities for maths

There's a catch in this thread. I'm on a search for top universities that offer relatively easy maths courses. This may include degrees like maths with economics or with finance etc. I genuinely like maths but don't want to set myself for failure. Don't need motivational statements on how I should believe in myself. I just want a good title from a reputable uni and have an easy time in achieving this.

Yes I did advanced mathematics with a final grade of 95 . I enjoy maths and believe I'm good at it. But easier maths is funner hence my question.

Thank you for your response but as I said I'm not looking to get motivational speeches.
Just answers to my wuestion
St. Andrews is quite good for maths, if you don’t want to go to Oxbridge. It is a highly reputable university for Mathematics, as shown in the tanking table.

The good thing about St Andrews is that they offer you a flexible two years - you take three subjects, then you specialise in your third an fourth year.

Furthermore, the makes you gain in your first year don’t really count towards your overall grade at the end of your fourth year; this means you can use first year to really adjust to the new environment.

I hope that helps
This is a bizarre question. No top university offers an easy maths course. The general order for top universities for maths is COWI (cambridge, oxford, warwick, imperial). If you want an insurance choice - maths and statistics offered by warwick requires AAA + a 2 in any STEP, or A*AA.

Tbh, for university, if you're looking to do a maths degree. There is no such thing as an easy maths course. They all have around the same difficulty, there's no such thing as *easy maths*.

I don't think that's a good way to find a course you like. If it's too easy - you may well get bored. I'd recommend looking around a few universities, looking at their course content, and making decisions based on that. If you want economics/business to be a large part of your degree, MORSE (maths, operational research, statistics and economics) may be a good choice for you. If you meet the entry requirements - you are most likely sufficiently able for the course. (they wouldn't admit you if they thought you'd struggle!)

There is a sizeable difference between school and university maths. The former is often rote and gives the wrong impression about maths at a higher level. You should do some maths reading to make sure you would enjoy a maths degree for this reason.

Guys thanks for all you responses.

But seriously if there is no answer to my question please, no need to write a post at sll.
St Andrews is pretty easy to get into, if you have a great personal statement.

You an study any two additional subjects (economics, psychology, physics, etc) alongside your core subject, which is Mathematics, for the first two years. then you can specialise in one or two of this subjects in your third and fourth year. St Andrews will suit you best, form what you have told the TSR community,
