Both Departments are centrally located, providing easy access to major libraries and leading societies, including the London Mathematical Society and the Royal Society.

Careers:

Graduates often become statisticians, actuaries, scientists, accountants, and more. Additionally, careers in the City or life sciences are becoming increasingly common. The program's management and finance aspects equip graduates for careers in finance. There is also high demand for mathematics graduates in the teaching profession.

Recent graduates have found employment within the following job roles and companies:

• Actuarial Analyst, Deloitte
• Teacher, Harris Academy
• Accounting Associate, Ernst & Young
• Financial Analyst, GE Healthcare
• Management Consultant, PricewaterhouseCoopers

Other:

• The program is designed for students who want to study mathematics at a degree level but also plan to work in a managerial role, especially in the financial sector.
• The mathematical part of the course provides a foundation in all branches of mathematics, including algebra, analysis, statistics, geometry, probability, and number theory.
• As students progress through the course, they focus more on topics relevant to financial mathematics.
• About a quarter of the program focuses on management topics, including accounting, communication, marketing, economics, and human resource management.
• During the course, students have the opportunity to specialize in various areas by choosing specific modules.

Full time tuition fees UK: The UK tuition fee for the 2024-25 academic year is currently £9,250 per year. This is based on the UK Government's cap.
