Mathematics graduates understand the world in a special way, and their skills are in high demand. According to a report by the Council for Mathematical Sciences, demand is still rising, giving graduates access to a wide range of interesting and rewarding careers boasting excellent salaries.
This programme will meet the educational requirements of the Chartered Mathematician designation, awarded by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, when it is followed by subsequent training and experience in employment to obtain equivalent competences to those specified by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) for taught masters degrees.
A Mathematics degree from Northumbria will build your analytical and quantitative skills, as well as develop you into a problem solver and a flexible thinker. You will explore the elegance of pure mathematics, apply your theories, use computers to solve mathematical equations, and cultivate a strong modelling instinct to translate everyday problems into mathematics.
Previous Mathematics graduates have gone on to work at Intel, NHS, the financial industry (including Accenture, Ernst & Young, Procter & Gamble), UK Government’s Department for Work and Pensions, Government Statistical Service, BAE Systems, and Rolls-Royce.

This extended degree provides an alternative route to higher education and supports those who don’t meet the standard entry requirements for an undergraduate degree. It includes a foundation year where you will enhance your knowledge and skills of core mathematics as well as of core physics and electrical engineering principles.
During your foundation year, you will develop fundamental research skills and independent learning skills through specialised and research-informed modules. You will build a broad range of mathematical and scientific competences addressing real-world problems and develop key employability skills that will prove invaluable when you enter the workplace.
Delivered in industry-leading facilities by our highly experienced team, you will be supported at every step to ensure an enjoyable experience that will enhance your learning and future employment prospects.
The foundation year of the course delivered at level 3 which develops your ability to study in Higher Education is not accredited. Subsequent levels and years are accredited and deliver the knowledge, competencies, and skills required to meet the specific course accreditation requirements that relate to the approved accredited award title.

Pioneering research from statistics to complex and nonlinear phenomena, astrophysics to smart materials, and communications to renewable energy.
The mixture of different classes meant that, on a typical day, I could be studying statistics papers, but when my brained tired of that discipline, I was able to switch to coding (for example) which required a completely different set of skills.
