What caused the global financial crisis? Can you help prevent another one? Combining mathematics or statistics with finance is an incredibly powerful way to leverage knowledge of quantitative finance with deep analytical skills. You will be able to see connections and solve problems that nobody else can. And when the time comes to apply for jobs, your CV will stand out from the rest.

Mathematics and Statistics graduates are widely employed in industry, commerce, government departments and teaching, but job opportunities exist in many less obvious fields. Many jobs require specific mathematical or statistical skills while others require the ability to think precisely and reason logically - skills your mathematical studies will hone. A broad background and interest in a variety of mathematical areas, computation and science will make you highly employable, so you should aim to take papers in subjects that will expand your knowledge of applications of Mathematics and Statistics - for instance in Accounting, Biology, Computer Science, Economics, Engineering, Management, and Physics. There are very good job opportunities in financial mathematics and in computing combined with Mathematics, and new opportunities emerging in the field of Data Science. The demand for Statisticians has also burgeoned in recent years.
