Mathematics is the universal language of science. It pervades technology, society, medicine, life, the universe and everything!

Mathematics is also one of the most powerful tools for analysis and problem solving known to mankind. As a result, mathematics graduates have the fifth highest employment rate of any degree subject in the UK, and the highest of all the 'pure' sciences. Thus, mathematics provides a unique combination of factors: a pure science with infinite intrigue awaiting a curious mind, and a hugely valuable and employable skill set enabling a broad range of possible future careers.

Studying for a Maths degree at Queen’s will assist students in developing the core skills and employment-related experiences that are valued by employers, professional organisations and academic institutions. Graduates from this degree at Queen’s are well regarded by many employers (local, national and international) and over half of all graduate jobs are now open to graduates of any discipline, including mathematics.

Although many of our graduates are interested in pursuing careers in teaching, banking and finance, significant numbers develop careers in a wide range of other sectors.
