Overview

Unlock the powerhouse combination of mathematics and business to become the future leader of a major organisation.

Imagine your future career. You’re working in a management role for a financial institution, technology company, or perhaps a thriving multinational start-up. And through your mathematical knowledge, you’re leading the business to greater success.  

Mathematics plays a critical role in helping managers understand the financial and operational aspects of their business to make strategic decisions – and it’s a valuable skill many organisations look for. 

Rooted in the real world

We’ll help you master a range of management topics from financial accounting to business analytics. Explore mathematic modules including pure and modern applied mathematics, as well as probability and statistics. You’ll also consider hot topics such as social justice and sustainability.   

Research lies at the heart of our department, and you'll be taught by leading experts who have many years of experience working in the financial market and discovering new mathematical insights.  

In third year, you’ll have the opportunity to apply to go global and study abroad. Or perhaps you prefer the chance to apply for a placement to stand out from the crowd. Whether you want to work in data science, business accountancy or financial risk consultancy, our careers consultant will help you get ready for success.

Professional Placement

Apply for our Mathematics with Management BSc with Professional Placement to spend a year carrying out paid work in the financial sector as part of your degree. As well as helping you to stand out from the crowd and secure graduate employment, a placement is an excellent opportunity to develop your business skills and put your learning into context.

Year abroad

Go global and study abroad as part of your degree – apply for our Mathematics with Management BSc with a Year Abroad. Queen Mary has links with universities across the globe, including North America, Asia and Australia (partnerships vary for each degree programme).

Find out more about study abroad opportunities at Queen Mary and what the progression requirements are.

You can do either a year in a professional placement or a year abroad - you cannot combine these options.

Testimonial

"I am fascinated with the unique blend of this course: it covers everything from mathematics, programming and economics to marketing and entrepreneurship. I've gained an in-depth understanding of the business world and was exposed to various mathematical approaches and applications."

Alise Sevcenko, BSc Mathematics with Management

Teaching

Teaching and learning

You’ll learn through lectures and tutorials, and in exercise classes where students work together on problems, discuss ideas and ask questions. Some modules have a practical element presented in one of our computer labs.

Formal teaching time typically takes up 16 hours each week. You’ll also be expected to complete additional hours of independent study.

Assessment

Most of your modules will be assessed by an examination worth at least 90 per cent of the year’s study, with the remainder covered by coursework and tests. Some BSc students will also complete a final-year project.

Management modules are assessed using a combination of coursework (presentations, assignments, essay report writing, in-class tests, research and project work) and/or examinations in May or June.

Resources and facilities

The School of Mathematical Sciences has invested £18m to create an inspiring, collaborative space for our community of students and staff. The building includes high-quality teaching rooms, private and group study areas and a new social hub.

You’ll also have access to a purpose-built media suite designed to support student entrepreneurship.
