About this course
Combining practical and theoretical principles, this course will develop your analytical knowledge and technical skills, enabling you to apply mathematics to solve real-life challenges.
You will develop rigour in your mathematical knowledge and your mathematical abilities and skills will be stretched and challenged, preparing you to effectively communicate mathematics in the work environment.
There is a shortage of graduates with analytical skills and this course meets the demands of industry. You will develop logical and analytical thought processes, problem-solving abilities and good computing techniques, which will give you the opportunity to pursue highly sought-after careers in a wide range of fields including finance, credit risk, business intelligence, actuarial science, teaching, and research, to name just a few.
**Key features**
- This course is professionally accredited by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA), to meet the requirements of the Chartered Mathematician designation.
- Through block teaching, you will focus on one subject at a time instead of several at once. This means that you will be able to focus closely on each subject and absorb your learning material in more depth, whilst working more closely with your tutors and course mates.
- The programme is assessed by coursework. There are no end of year exams.
- You will have the opportunity - on successful completion of specific modules - to gain Joint SAS certification from SAS, the world’s largest independent business analytics company.
- Develop your knowledge of industry-standard software such as SAS, MATLAB, Minitab and Excel.
- Our graduates have gone on to work in a range of fields such as financial management, operational research, actuarial science, data science, project management, logistics, teaching, research and a variety of analytical roles.
