Why Study Mathematics as part of a Combined Honours Degree?

Mathematics is a subject based on strict logic, analytical models and abstractions. It has immense applicability in many areas including science, technology, engineering, surveying, mechanics, business and commerce. Studying Mathematics is challenging, exciting, enjoyable and can lead to a rewarding career. At UEL, you can combine mathematics with your studies in computing, information technology, business, accounting, finance or education. The programme is practically oriented, providing you with opportunities to explore mathematics methods and techniques in different areas.

Which modules will I study?

You can view a full guide to the modules you have to study as part of your chosen pathway, along with a full range of option modules available by viewing the Combined Honours Programmes Guide for Mathematics.

Can I study a Combined Honours Programme as a Part-time degree?

All our Combined Honours Programmes can be studied on a Part-time or Full-time basis. As a Part-time student, you will study the same degree programme, but at a slower pace. You will study up to 4 modules per year (instead of 6 as a full-time student).

What career opportunities are open to me if I study Mathematics?

Employers greatly value the intellectual ability and rigour, and the skills in reasoning and analytical problem solving, of mathematics graduates, and there is a wide range of career opportunities in industry, business and commerce. There is also a great demand in the UK for mathematics teachers.
