Course Overview

A Mathematics degree from Northumbria will build your analytical and quantitative skills, as well as develop you into a problem solver and a flexible thinker. You will explore the elegance of pure mathematics, apply your theories, use computers to solve mathematical equations, and cultivate a strong modeling instinct to translate everyday problems into mathematics. Previous Mathematics graduates have gone on to work at Intel, NHS, the financial industry (including Accenture, Ernst & Young, Procter & Gamble), UK Governments Department for Work and Pensions, Government Statistical Service, BAE Systems, and Rolls-Royce. We are passionate about allowing you to choose what you study. So, in your final year, you can specialize in areas such as financial mathematics, cryptography, and medical statistics. Furthermore, take advantage of the opportunity to study abroad, developing your cultural awareness. Or, carry out placements with the likes of Nissan, Lloyds, or IBM, helping you achieve essential industry experience. This program will meet the educational requirements of the Chartered Mathematician designation, awarded by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications when it is followed by subsequent training and experience in employment to obtain equivalent competencies to those specified by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) for taught masters degrees.
