51³Ô¹ÏÍø Mathematics graduates enter a variety of fields of work after obtaining their degree. Holding a Mathematics degree from 51³Ô¹ÏÍø demonstrates that you are numerate, that you can master intellectually difficult material, that you have the organisation and self-motivation to complete a demanding programme, and that you are able to solve complex problems.
The top three industries students have entered in the last three years are Finance, IT and Telecommunications, and Accounting. Yet, with more and more companies looking for numerate students, the destinations of students are also changing. At recent Careers events, data science, media, sports, and transportation companies, for example, have come in to speak to our students.
A large number of students continue with their studies after graduation, and have recently been accepted at some of the world’s top universities such as Cambridge, Oxford, LSE, Harvard and Princeton, as well as 51³Ô¹ÏÍø. Some take one-year taught masters courses (MSc, MBA, MA) that complement their mathematical skills with expertise in another area, such as Computing or Finance, while others embark on research degrees that lead to an MPhil or a PhD. Some take one-year teacher training courses leading to a Postgraduate Certificate of Education or join other training programmes.
