Subject

Mathematics

We know that a Masters degree in Mathematics is never an easy option, but it’s a worthwhile journey and one that we’ll support you on every step of the way.

We’ll take your mathematics knowledge to the next level with a wide range of options in statistics and pure and applied mathematics, all taught by our lecturers who are experts in a wide range of topics. High powered computing labs, 3D printing and virtual reality kit – we’ve got all the cutting-edge facilities that get you hands-on and applying your mathematics skills.

You’ll get to use professional, mathematical and statistical software to boost your subject knowledge, understanding and problem-solving skills. These are all essential elements when it comes to developing your final year research project which can be based around your interests. Throughout your course you’ll study in an informal, supportive environment, and you’ll work closely with the School’s mathematics-related research groups, Applied Mathematics, and Statistical Modelling.

**Industry accreditation**
All of our undergraduate courses are accredited by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, which is our guarantee that this course is current and relevant to the needs of business. Our close links with industry means that, if you wish, you’ll have the opportunity to take up job placements with some of the world’s leading companies. Plus, you’ll acquire specialist skills and knowledge to prepare you for further study and research if that is where your interest lies.

**Research scholarships**
Every year we offer a number of Mathematics Undergraduate Research Scholarships (MURS), giving successful applicants funding for a 6-8 week placement in one of our research teams. This is a great opportunity for you to further your research interests and contribute to the academic activities of the mathematics department.

**More student opportunities**
Our students run a Mathematics Society, and you’ll have the opportunity to take part in regular events hosted on campus by the local branch of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications.

Want to feel needed? This is one of the most flexible degrees of all and with so much of modern work being based on data, there are options everywhere for maths graduates. With all that training in handling figures, it's hardly surprising that a lot of maths graduates go into well-paid jobs in the IT or finance industries, and last year, a maths graduate in London could expect a very respectable average starting salary of £27k. And we're always short of teachers in maths, so that is an excellent option for anyone wanting to help the next generation. And if you want a research job, you'll want a doctorate — and a really good maths doctorate will get you all sorts of interest from academia and finance — and might secure some of the highest salaries going for new leavers from university.

What about your long term prospects?

Looking further ahead, below is a rough guide for what graduates went on to earn.

Post-six month graduation stats:

This is from the Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education Survey, based on responses from graduates who studied the same subject area here.

It offers a snapshot of what grads went on to do six months later, what they were earning on average, and whether they felt their degree helped them obtain a 'graduate role'. We calculate a mean rating to indicate if this is high, medium or low compared to other universities.

The Longitudinal Educational Outcomes dataset combines HRMC earnings data with student records from the Higher Education Statistics Agency.

While there are lots of factors at play when it comes to your future earnings, use this as a rough timeline of what graduates in this subject area were earning on average one, three and five years later. Can you see a steady increase in salary, or did grads need some experience under their belt before seeing a nice bump up in their pay packet?
