Mathematics is a vast and ever-growing subject which incorporates successful explorations of numerical, geometrical and logical relationships. Our programme allows you to choose from a wide variety of courses in honours years. Our ambassador scheme gives students the chance to spend time in schools, experiencing teaching at first hand and developing vital workplace skills.Our ambassador scheme gives students the chance to spend time in schools, experiencing teaching at first hand and developing vital workplace skill. The MacLaurin Society(or MacSoc), is the university's Mathematics and Statistics Society. Named after the Scottish mathematician Colin MacLaurin, it has been running since the 1950's and provides a supportive and friendly atmosphere for students in the School.A key feature of our degree programmes is the flexibility to study for a combined degree with large numbers of subjects from across the University. Particularly common combined degree combinations include Physics, Chemistry and Economics, but in recent years students have also completed combined degrees in subjects such as English, French, Music and Philosophy. Availability of certain courses in combined Honours programmes may be subject to timetabling restrictions.Many of our graduates go on to careers in the financial services sector or computing, or undertake postgraduate study. Others are employed in industry, using the modelling and problem-solving skills gained on the programme. Our recent graduates have been employed by: PricewaterhouseCoopers, Grant Thornton, Alexander Sloan, CignaDeloitte, Royal Bank of Scotland, Credit Suisse.
