What the college says

Knowledge of mathematics is fundamental to many areas of higher education and there is a national shortage of trained mathematicians. Mathematics complements studies in many areas such as the sciences, finance, economics and business, computer studies and engineering. A degree in Mathematics itself can give graduates a highly increased earning capacity and provides career choices which are the envy of many other graduates. Mathematics also plays a key role in virtually all areas of science, industry and commerce, in hospitals, city councils, high technology, design, aviation, manufacturing, in fact, pretty well any area you can think of. This is why mathematics forms such an important prerequisite for so many degrees and why candidates with an A Level in Mathematics are so keenly sought by admissions tutors.
