This programme is aimed at students who wish to gain a deep understanding of the concepts of modern mathematics and statistics, and a mastery of the associated skills and technologies. Our students will become autonomous inquisitive learners capable of formulating and creatively solving relevant problems in the language of mathematics and statistics. Our graduates will be in demand by employers and academic research institutesfor their ability to explain, describe and predict using the tools they have learned. We value students who are motivated to find the underlying mathematical causes and reasons for observations and patterns. We aim to provide a teaching and learning environment that develops confidence and independence through a wide variety of interactive formats, both inside and outside the classroom, including lectures, tutorials, webwork, blackboard and computer assisted labs.
Each year sees new applications of sophisticated mathematical models and procedures in insurance and actuarial services, data analytics, the stock market, banking and industry. Employers in all of these areas seek mathematics graduates for their critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Our recent graduates are working in many diverse areas, including actuarial science, banking and financial services, civil service, coding and cryptography companies, IT industry, meteorology and research.
Opportunities for further study include MSc and PhD programmes in the mathematical sciences in Ireland and abroad, leading to research positions in universities or industry.
