Course Overview

The Graduate Diploma in Mathematics is a conversion course for graduates of any discipline looking to switch to a career or further study in mathematics, without having to sign up for a three-year undergraduate degree.

Our Graduate Diploma in Mathematics is designed to be as flexible as possible; you will have a choice of modules taken from our BSc Mathematics. You will meet with the course director before the start of the academic year and decide on a suitable program of study, based on your interests and experience.

This is an undergraduate-level qualification that will prepare you for postgraduate study. Graduate Diplomas typically take one to two years to complete and are made up of two, three, or four modules at the final-year undergraduate degree level

Graduates can pursue career paths in the financial sector, the actuarial profession, IT and computing, teaching, and academia. Possible professions include:

• actuary

• statistician

• chartered accountant

• corporate investment banker

• investment analyst

• quantity surveyor.
