Careers for mathematicians and statisticiansMathematicians and statisticians have always been highly valued by employers for their analytical and problem-solving skills, and their ability to think logically and quantitatively.These skills are in increasing demand beyond the traditional sectors of finance, with industries such as technology, healthcare, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, data science, and engineering actively seeking mathematical expertise to drive innovation and decision-making.Businesses have ever increasing volumes of data available and this data needs to be analysed and modelled. Our recent graduates are putting their mathematical skills into practice in sectors such as:utilitiesdefenceadvanced manufacturingtransportationenergysports analyticshealth economicsMaths graduates are also highly sought-after for roles in teaching.You'll also develop key skills which are essential for the employment market such as communication, teamwork, planning, and organisation.
