From accountant to engineer, analyst to investment banker, studying mathematics opens the door to a wide range of careers. Some graduates make specific use of mathematics while others use the more general skills they have gained, such as analysis and problem solving, high-level numeracy and a capacity to learn independently.
Our graduates are in high demand from prospective employers and have been well received into a broad range of careers in commerce, industry, the professions and government. They pursue a variety of careers which include:
- commerce
- engineering
- financial services
- government
- industry
- information technology
- science
Postgraduate research
Rather than directly entering the employment market upon graduating, you might decide to continue your studies at higher-degree level. Postgraduate areas of study include:
- business studies
- computer science
- education
- engineering
- finance
- mathematics
- statistics
Each year some of our best students choose to stay at Nottingham and join our lively group of postgraduate research students in the School of Mathematical Sciences.
Each research group within the school offers a large number of diverse and interesting projects, across the specialisations of pure mathematics, applied mathematics and probability and statistics.
