Programme Description
The fi rst two stages of the programme are designed to
provide a sound foundation in Mathematics, which will
underpin subsequent work and to introduce students to
topics in Statistics and Computer Science which they have the
option of developing further in later stages through specialist
study.
The main strength of the programme is the way in which the
third and fourth stages are designed in a modular fashion
to allow the student signifi cant choice from courses in
Algebra, Analysis, Mechanics, Statistics, Operations Research,
Financial Mathematics, Data Mining, Graphics and Foreign
Language (fourth year only). The programme includes a six
month placement in stage three, during which students gain
experience of using their analytical, problem solving and
computer skills in a working environment.
Career Opportunities
There are many career opportunities for numerate graduates.
A mathematical or related degree can open up a whole
world of employment opportunities and can thus keep pace
with whichever areas are currently thriving. Graduates have
found employment in many areas, notably the IT sector and
the fi nancial services. Graduates of this programme will
have highly developed analytical and problem solving skills
in a specialist Mathematics/Statistics/Computer Applications
context and be in a good position to embark on high achieving
careers in industry, commerce, the teaching and other
professions and the public sector. They will also be qualifi ed
to proceed to graduate study and higher degrees by research. |
