Mathematics with Management with Professional Placement BSc (Hons)

Imagine your future career. You’re working in a management role for a financial institution, technology company, or perhaps a thriving multinational start-up. And through your mathematical knowledge, you’re leading the business to greater success.

Mathematics plays a critical role in helping managers understand the financial and operational aspects of their business to make strategic decisions – and it’s a valuable skill many organisations look for.

Rooted in the real world

We’ll help you master a range of management topics from financial accounting to business analytics. Explore mathematic modules including pure and modern applied mathematics, as well as probability and statistics. You’ll also consider hot topics such as social justice and sustainability.

Research lies at the heart of our department, and you'll be taught by leading experts who have many years of experience working in the financial market and discovering new mathematical insights.

In third year, you’ll have the opportunity to apply to go global and study abroad. Or perhaps you prefer the chance to apply for a placement to stand out from the crowd. Whether you want to work in data science, business accountancy or financial risk consultancy, our careers consultant will help you get ready for success.

As a student of mathematics, you’ll develop strong numerical, analytical and problem-solving skills that will set you apart from other graduates. By combining your studies with management, you’re well placed to understand employer requirements and make a real contribution early in your career.

Many graduates apply their degree knowledge in the finance, accounting or actuarial professions. Others translate their skills into careers such as management consulting, marketing, engineering, teaching and the public sector.
