The MMath with a Professional Placement Year is a great choice if you would like to gain a deeper understanding of mathematics while gaining real-world experience in a paid mathematician or statistician role. This course expands on the BSc to prepare you for high-level entry into relevant professions. It’s also a solid base for pursuing a research career.
This course is the same as the four-year BSc with a Professional Placement Year with an additional fifth year of study where you will complete a major piece of project work, such as:
- a survey of an existing area of mathematical theory not covered in taught modules
- an introductory research project
- the development of a piece of mathematical software
Not only will you explore a research topic of your choice, but you will also develop the crucial professional skills that graduate employers are looking for. You will show that you are at the forefront of the discipline through extensive coverage of topics such as Mathematical Analysis, Mathematical Physics, and Fluid Dynamics.
In a competitive graduate job market, a placement can help you gain extra skills and experience to make you stand out from the crowd. It could help you to secure a permanent role after you graduate, as well as providing real-world context to support your studies. If you're not sure what career path to follow, it's a great opportunity to explore your options. It might help you make those all-important decisions about your future.
Our current students are taking advantage of our strong industry links and completing exciting placements in organisations such as:
- HM Revenue & Customs
- the Ministry of Defence
- NHS Wales
- Nationwide
- BAE Systems
- IBM
- Disney
