Managing money means dealing with numbers and varying quantities. Mathematical models can be applied to complex behaviour in the financial markets. Well-qualified mathematicians and statisticians are therefore in great demand, with a wide choice of careers opportunities. This degree provides students with a particular set of mathematical skills that are ideal for work in the financial services technology sector. The course is a partnership with industry and includes project work related to capital markets and capital market instruments.

In the 2025 National Student Survey Mathematics at QUB was ranked top out of the Russell group of universities with an overall satisfaction score of 85%.

Course highlights

Global Opportunities

We participate in the competitive IAESTE and Turing student exchange programmes, which enable students to obtain work experience in companies and universities throughout the world.

Industry Links

We have key links with local companies who hire mathematics graduates. Several local financial services companies (including Clarus FT, Effex Capital and AquaQ Analytics) were founded by our former maths graduates. Indeed these companies are partners in the development of this degree programme. \ \ All students in the school have the option to include a year in industry as part of their studies. This is a fantastic opportunity to see mathematics at work in the real world, and to enhance your career prospects at the same time.

Career Development

87% of Maths students are in graduate employment or further study 15 months after graduation (11th in the UK)

World Class Facilities

The school has its own dedicated teaching centre which opened in September 2016. This building houses lecture and group-study rooms, a hugely popular student social area and state-of-the-art computer facilities. The centre is an exciting hub for our students, and is situated directly adjacent to the Lanyon Building on the main university campus. This makes us the only school with a dedicated teaching space right at the heart of the university.

Internationally Renowned Experts

The School of Mathematics and Physics is a large school with staff from 13 countries, including UK, US, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Bulgaria, Russia, Argentina, Cuba, Germany, China, Greece, Kenya, Niger, The Netherlands and Romania. Many of our staff are leading international experts in their fields of mathematical research. In the 2021 REF peer-review exercise, Mathematics Research had the 11th highest impact in the UK.\ \ Thus the ethos of the School is one of excellence in research informing excellence in teaching.

Student Experience

Many students find the transition from school to university somewhat daunting. In order to help with this transition, Mathematics students have introduced a Peer Mentoring scheme that is generally regarded as one of the most effective in the University. As well as providing a forum for first year students to obtain support, it also provides mentors with transferable skills which will increase graduate employment opportunities.

School has the 3rd highest postgraduate research student satisfaction in the university.

In the 2025 National Student Survey Mathematics at QUB was ranked top out of the Russell group of universities with an overall satisfaction score of 85%.

Further Study Opportunities

Placement Year\ Students can take an optional placement year between years 2/3 of their course. Completion of an approved placement will be acknowledged in your final degree certificate with the addition of the words "with placement year".

After graduating I joined Allstate (in Chicago and Belfast) to work as a Predictive Modeller. Two years ago I moved to my current position. Unlike some careers, I am given the opportunity to put into practice what I have learned at university daily, whether that is computer programming, critical thinking, problem solving or presenting. Many of the courses I studied at Queen’s are fundamental for my day to day work: my notes from these courses still sit on my desk!\ \ Padraic Sheerin - Vice President, Data Science at Pramerica (Prudential Financial), Ireland
