Mathematics is of paramount importance to all aspects of science, technology and modern finance. The logical insights, analytical skills and intellectual discipline gained from mathematical studies are highly sought after in all of these areas, as well as in a broad range of other disciplines such as law, business, management, and even the creative arts. There’s also a strong demand for new mathematics teachers in schools at all levels, both in the UK and abroad.
 

As well as being designed to allow candidates to meet the needs of future employers, our MSc provides a solid foundation from which to pursue further research in mathematics, or one of the many other disciplines to which mathematical ideas and techniques are applied.
