Mathematics is the universal language of science and a beautiful subject in its own right. It is a discipline that also has important applications in industry and commerce, and well-qualified mathematicians are in great demand, with a wide choice of careers. For mathematicians with an interest and background in French this degree is ideal. It is a four-year degree programme with a year spent abroad typically studying mathematics through the medium of the chosen language.

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

Students undertaking the Mathematics with French degree will spend a year studying mathematics in a university on mainland Europe. Support for this international placement can be sought during the degree through an application to the Turing programme.

We have key links with local companies who hire mathematics graduates. Several local financial services companies (including Clarus FT, EFFEX Capital and Data Intellect) were founded by our former maths graduates.

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 and laboratory 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 pioneered 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%.

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

When I left school I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. As a consequence I decided to study the subject I loved the most – maths! The maths degree at Queen’s was a fantastic experience. I thoroughly enjoyed my three years there. The tutors were helpful and the other students were fun and friendly. There was a broad range of modules, making the course very flexible. I began first year taking a mixture of Pure and Applied Maths, alongside some French, and by my third year I had specialised in mostly Applied Maths.\ \ Emma Roberts (Maths Teacher)
