The Mathematics degree at Swansea University covers a range of mathematical material, including pure and applied mathematics and Mathematics for Finance. The mathematics course gives you the chance to explore and understand the number theory that Pythagoras studied, the Financial Mathematics that the stock market relies on, and a wealth of other topics including probability analysis, nonlinear partial differential equations, non commutative geometry and algebraic topology. These are all research specialisms of Swansea Mathematics lecturers. This programme 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 competences to those specified by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) for taught master’s degrees. You will be assessed through a combination of unseen written examinations, set assignments, presentations and a dissertation. On completion of this course some of our students have been employed by AXA, BA, Deutsche Bank, Shell Research, Health Authorities and Local Government. Teaching is another area where maths graduates will find plenty of career opportunities. There is also the option to study further for a higher degree.
