Job prospects
More and more areas (Engineering, Economics, Finance, Medicine etc.) are becoming permeated by mathematics and its applications. This makes for a broad spectrum of excellent jobs for mathematicians, where the knowledge and abilities acquired during the degree course can be put to practical use. Examples are
- innovative high-tech businesses
- firms specializing in engineering or scientific products
- software development
- insurance and banking
- education
This last is of vital importance, since well qualified mathematics teachers are essential, if the future demand for mathematicians from computing, engineering and natural sciences is to be met.
