Program Overview

In this course, you will explore the realm of mathematics and become prepared for an engaging career in optimisation, financial mathematics or industrial mathematics.

You'll learn how to apply mathematical and statistical principles across operations research, statistics, numerical analysis, and applied mathematical modelling. With those skills, you'll use mathematics to tackle real-world challenges, and apply creative thinking to find innovative solutions to complex problems.

Throughout your studies, you'll learn to locate and evaluate evidence and scientific literature, leveraging modern technologies to gather data and communicate insights relating to mathematical science.

After completing this course, you’ll graduate ready to contribute to real-world endeavours in science, engineering, industry and commerce.

What you'll learn

• Have demonstrated knowledge and understanding in Mathematics that is typically at a level that, whilst supported by advanced textbooks, includes some aspects that will be informed by knowledge of the forefront of Mathematics, GC1
• Can apply their knowledge and understanding in a manner that indicates a professional approach to Mathematics, and have competencies typically demonstrated through devising and sustaining arguments (to both specialist and non-specialist audiences) and solving problems within Mathematics, GC2
• Understand the constructs of the scientific method and apply these principles in Mathematics using digital technologies, GC3
• Can gather and interpret relevant data within Mathematics to inform judgements that include reflection on relevant social, scientific, or ethical issues, including being aware of the diversity of international perspectives associated with Mathematics, and how these impact upon the practice of Mathematics, GC4
• Understand and appreciate cultural diversity and how it impacts on the practice of Mathematics, GC5
• Display a high standard of professional behaviour, including effective time management, both independently and as a team member, GC6
