Mathematics We know you care about your career. So we've got a maths course that will set you up for a well-paid one. We rapidly adapt what we teach to reflect the fast-moving graduate employment market, and our courses are built on the research expertise of our world-leading mathematicians.

Maths is astronomy, advertising, defence, logistics, media, sales and just about anything else you can think of.
If you bring us your talents in mathematics, we will give you the knowledge, skills and confidence to make it count. Maths is everywhere, and a degree in Mathematics from the University of Kent is your key to getting to wherever you want to go.
Your Future A maths degree from Kent will set you up for a wide range of careers in areas including medical statistics, pharmaceuticals, aerospace, accounting and software development.
