This course will develop your logical, analytical and problem-solving abilities. It particularly focuses on increasing your awareness of the use of the mathematical sciences as problem-solving tools. Subjects covered will include pure mathematics, mathematical methods and mathematical modelling, as well as statistics. Students will be encouraged to apply their mathematical knowledge to a wide variety of applications areas.

Recent research has shown that graduates in mathematical disciplines enjoy one of the highest earning potentials of all graduates. Employers recognise that mathematical knowledge and skills are essential to the solution of many current problems, in science, technology, business and commerce. Graduates in Mathematical Sciences may use their subject knowledge directly in scientific research and teaching, or develop careers in accountancy, computing, actuarial, market research or management work where they can use their numeracy and problem-solving skills. Many of our graduates also progress to postgraduate study, both MSc and PhD.
