Mathematics
Mathematics is the study of structure, number, space, change and the relationships between them through precise logical reasoning. It is both one of the oldest intellectual disciplines and one of the most dynamically developing, with new results and applications emerging constantly across pure mathematics, applied mathematics, statistics and the mathematical foundations of computer science. Virtually all industries need graduates with strong mathematical skills, and the rigorous analytical thinking that mathematics develops is among the most transferable of any academic training.
At City St George's, University of London you will study mathematics over three years of full-time study, on a programme that combines theoretical foundations with a strong focus on the practical skills and problem-solving abilities that employers across different sectors value. A sandwich year provides substantial professional experience, and work placement is integrated into the programme, connecting your mathematical training to applied contexts in finance, business, technology or research. The typical tariff of 104 reflects a programme designed to develop graduates with sought-after quantitative skills for real-world problem solving, accessible to students from a range of mathematical backgrounds.
Mathematics graduates are consistently among the most employable, working in finance, actuarial science, data science, statistics, engineering, technology, education, logistics and research. The combination of rigorous training in quantitative reasoning and applied problem-solving is valued in every sector that deals with data, models or complex analytical challenges. Many graduates pursue professional qualifications in actuarial science or accounting, or go on to postgraduate study in mathematics, statistics, data science or financial mathematics.
City St George's London location provides particularly strong connections to the financial services, technology and professional services sectors that are major employers of mathematics graduates.
