Employability is embedded into modules from the first year onwards and right from the first lecture. We explain the degree skills which are being taught throughout the modules and offer a number of optional employability modules. Technical skills you will acquire are in great demand, as are the skills of understanding and analysing problems, together with communicating the results. Major technology organisations have a special need for mathematicians with a background in computing. You could end up as part of the team writing the next version of Windows, devising a computer based stock control system for an automotive manufacturer, or writing a secure web-based customer interface for a US music distributor.
