The aim of the course is to develop your mathematics knowledge to a master’s level and gain a valuable insight into industry. This masters-level degree will allow you to pursue your specific interests, whether you enjoy pure or applied mathematics. You can also gain valuable industry experience through a year-long paid placement. As a MMath graduate you will be ideally placed for a career in mathematical research, whether in industry, academia or elsewhere. Additionally, your mathematical knowledge combined with computing, teamwork and presentation skills will make you highly desirable to a range of other employers. You may choose to work as a mathematician or statistician for public sector organisations, such as health authorities or the Office for National Statistics, or areas of the private sector including commerce and information technology. Furthermore, you can move into a range of related careers such as accountancy, banking, financial analysis, engineering, modelling, and computing, teaching or actuarial work.
