Bachelor of Science in Mathematics with Placement Year

Program Overview

Tackle some of the most intriguing maths problems, gain experience of applying your mathematical knowledge and test out possible career paths.

In your first year you’ll focus on fundamental mathematical concepts. You’ll cover essential topics such as calculus, algebra, modelling and data science. You’ll hone your problem solving abilities, develop programming skills using Python and R, and learn to present your work as a professional mathematician using LaTeX.

In your second year you’ll develop your skill set further. In addition to core modules, you’ll have the chance to study a range of optional modules. You’ll get to explore the topics that are important to you, whether that’s differential equations, the mechanics of motion in fluids and solids, statistical modelling or computer simulations.

The whole of your third year will be spent working at an organisation on a placement. Our students have secured placements in roles ranging from finance to data science with organisations including Intel, the Met Office, HSBC, Deloitte, Morgan Stanley, and the Civil Service.

During your placement year you’ll gain experience of applying your knowledge of mathematics in a business environment. Supported by your tutors, you’ll have the opportunity to develop new skills and build up your CV. Some students even come back with the offer of a job when they graduate.

When you return to Sheffield in your fourth year, you’ll have the opportunity to choose from a variety of more in-depth optional modules such as medical statistics, game theory, and codes and cryptography. Your final year is the perfect time to build on your placement experience to tailor your degree to your interests and career goals, equipping yourself with the skills and knowledge you need to succeed.

Career Opportunities

There will always be a place for maths graduates in banking, insurance, pensions, and financial districts from the City of London to Wall Street. Big engineering companies still need people who can crunch the numbers to keep planes in the sky and trains running on time too. But the 21st century has also created new career paths for our students.

Smartphones, tablets, social networks and streaming services all use software and algorithms that need mathematical brains behind them. In the age of ‘big data’, everyone from rideshare apps to high street shops is gathering information that maths graduates can organise, analyse and interpret. The same technological advances have created new challenges and opportunities in cybersecurity and cryptography.

Scholarships

We offer a range of scholarships for international students.
