Career options:
There has always been a high demand for well-trained mathematicians. A degree in Mathematics not only provides specialist knowledge, it also trains graduates to think logically and clearly. Areas where these skills are highly sought include finance and banking; insurance; the civil service; teaching; industrial and commercial management; administration; technical, scientific and engineering work; and research and development.
Many occupations directly use skills that are acquired during the study of Mathematics. Examples include systems analysis, aerospace research, electronic engineering, and the scientific civil service. Statisticians can also find employment in industry, medicine, market research or government service. Many students go on to work in institutes of technology and universities around the country. Students of Applied Mathematics can be found working or conducting research in fields such as science, technology, engineering, economics, computing, telecommunications, banking, finance, and internet and military security.
Postgraduate options:
Many students choose to combine the further study of Mathematics with a vocational area. Examples include the MCompSci, HDipIT, MSc/PhD in Statistics, MMgmtSci., MSc in Computational Mathematics, MSc in Applied Mathematics, MSc in Computer Science, and MEconSci.
