Summary
The cutting edge of the application of mathematics in industry combines modelling, analysis and interpretation using methods from applied mathematics and the rapidly growing area of data science. This course is for you if you're interested in applying maths, statistics and computer science to solve complex problems in industry.
This course includes a wide range of taught units in applied maths techniques, mathematical modelling, data science, machine learning and scientific communication. You'll also gain real-world experience from group projects with other students and the opportunity to work on a project with one of our industrial partners.
Working with industry
A key element of the course is the opportunity to work on a real project with one of our industry partners. This may include some time based at an external company. Some of our current industry partners include the Met Office, Barclays, Emerson Roxar and Raytheon. Industry projects give direct experience of the problem solving process, including identifying the problem and translating it into mathematical language, processing and analysing relevant data, solving the mathematical problem, and communicating the results to the client.
Career prospects
Mathematics and data are fundamental to modern science and many industries are looking for graduates who can work across these fields. By gaining skills and knowledge in these areas, a wide range of career pathways will be open to you when you graduate. You'll also have acquired the essential foundation for further postgraduate study and research within related fields.
