Strand Campus
Strand Campus sits along the Thames at London's cultural heart. Alongside world-class teaching spaces, students enjoy access to the pedestrianised Strand Quad, with Somerset House and iconic landmarks just steps away.
Overview
Our Mathematics with Management & Finance and a Year in Industry BSc offers you the opportunity to study mathematics at an advanced level, and at the same time develop an understanding of the principles and developing trends in management and finance.
The course is designed for students who want to study mathematics at degree level, but who also plan to work in a managerial role, especially in the financial sector. The mathematical part of the course will give you a foundation in all branches of mathematics, including algebra, analysis, statistics, geometry, probability and number theory. As you progress through the course you will focus more on topics which are specifically relevant to financial mathematics.
About a quarter of this course focuses on management topics, including accounting, communication, marketing, economics, and human resource management. During your course you will have the opportunity to specialise in various areas by choosing specific modules.
You will spend your third year gaining valuable work experience with a year-long placement at a UK company before returning to complete a final year with us. Finding an industry placement will require students to be resourceful and engaged. The Faculty has dedicated placement support providing advice and host employer-led events, ensuring you have all the tools to secure the right placement for you.
