Mathematics underpins every technological, scientific and engineering achievement and natural phenomenon we see around us. Mathematics is integral to the applications and technologies we rely on each day.
This course develops your practical skills to solve real life problems and enhances your professional skills, enabling you to effectively communicate mathematics in the work environment. You will develop rigour in your mathematical knowledge and your mathematical abilities/skills will be stretched and challenged, preparing you for graduate employment.
There is a shortage of graduates with analytical skills and this course meets the demands of industry. You will develop logical and analytical thought processes, problem-solving abilities and good computing techniques, which will give you the opportunity to pursue highly sought-after careers in a wide range of fields including finance, credit risk, business intelligence, actuarial science, teaching, and research, to name just a few.
