In the first semester, you will study calculus, linear algebra and computer programming and can choose from a selection of other modules, including physics and economics, before deciding whether to pursue a degree in Mathematical Sciences, which itself allows specialisation in mathematics, statistics or computing; or Mathematics and Physics; or • Economics and Mathematical Sciences. The choice of programme needs to be made before the end of the first semester; there is no restriction on this choice, except that to continue with Mathematics and Physics you must take a physics module in the first semester, and similarly to continue with Economics and Mathematical Sciences you must take an economics module in the first semester. It is possible to select modules which leave all three options open for the second semester.

The career opportunities will depend primarily on the BSc course chosen by you. Graduates of UL Mathematics courses have successfully developed careers in the following employment areas: Mathematical Sciences: Research; teaching; financial services including accounting, lending analysis and investment analysis; data analysis including market research, demographics and medical research; software development; manufacturing including production planning, quality control and research and development of new products.
