BSc(Hons) Mathematics

A degree in Mathematics can open the door to a wide range of interesting and exciting careers that studying a STEM subject enables you to pursue. Mathematicians ability to reason logically, to develop quantitative models, and to extract information from data means their skillset is valued everywhere. These skills are required across a variety of organizations that need to interpret meaning from big data sets, a process which is often referred to as data science. Industries include aerospace, energy, social media, environmental, pharmaceutical, finance, and electronics - to name just a few of the sectors eager to employ mathematically qualified graduates. We look at calculus from the basics and underlying theory all the way through to the partial differential equations used to model flowing water and financial instruments. Statistics are covered from basic probability to the frontiers of Big Data. We also include a healthy dose of numerical computing so you are able to use mathematical software and write programs making use of the techniques youve learned. Our teaching has a clear focus on developing thorough logical reasoning skills and meaningful quantitative models. Theoretical knowledge is extended through its analysis and practical application to real-life problems.
