A mathematics degree offers you intellectual challenges and provides the skills in demand for a wide range of careers.
Perhaps you've always been a keen mathematician? Maybe you’re excited by solving problems and puzzles? Or you might want to use your maths skills to expand knowledge in areas as diverse as space travel, software development and complex medicine?
Whatever your reason for considering a maths degree, you’ve made a great decision. You will gain knowledge and skills that will prepare you for the workplace, and not only in jobs which use maths directly. Many employers value a mathematics qualification; your numerical, logical thinking and problem-solving skills enable you to tackle a variety of roles.
To cover the range of topics that mathematics embraces, we've made our courses flexible. Keep your degree broad with a BSc or MMath in Mathematics, or specialise in an area of your choice, from financial mathematics to statistics and operational research.
You can use your BSc in Mathematics as a route into the workforce, where you could meet our alumni working in traditional jobs such as teaching, actuarial work, and accounting, as well as IT, pharmaceutical research, engineering and more. Alternatively, you may choose to expand your career options to include a range of related areas by completing postgraduate studies in sciences, computing or engineering.
