Mathematics

Thanks to the strong analytical skills you acquire during the master’s programme in Mathematics, graduates are often preferred for analytical roles. In sectors such as finance, healthcare and construction, vast amounts of data need to be structured and analysed. Mathematicians are not only qualified to apply existing mathematical analysis methods but also to develop new techniques for solving complex problems. This might involve creating an algorithm to analyse medical scans for signs of disease or using mathematical models to predict fluctuations in economic cycles. Many of these methods are developed in collaboration with computer scientists, which means mathematicians also gain a solid understanding of basic programming.
