I concur. BSc course in Mathematics is good, just try to pick hard subjects and avoid anything with computing.

First year is a high school level - you do not have to take it if you are good at that maths. Second year courses are a bit more challenging, but real fun in on 3rd year. I did Complex Analysis, Fluid dynamics, Further Pure Mathematics - they are solid and interesting.

I thought about some physics like electromagnetism or quantum theory, but decided to stick with pure maths.

I think to also go get MSc with them - they introduced Galois Theory this year, although the choice of subjects is limited there.
