Why Mathematics at Sussex?
- 90% of our research activity is rated as world-leading, internationally excellent or internationally recognised according to the most recent Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) in 2008
- Sussex is ranked 6th best Mathematics department in the UK for providing helpful feedback and assessment according to the Guardian University Guide 2012
At Sussex we recognise that mathematics is the foundation of the physical sciences. It plays a major role in the life sciences and in such disciplines as economics, computer science and psychology.
The most recent Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) survey Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education Longitudinal Survey, showed that 3 years after graduation 93% of mathematics graduates were either employed or had gone onto further study. Jobs that are typical for Sussex Maths graduates include computer programmer, actuary, statistician, accountant, management trainee, banker, civil servant, researcher. Other graduates go on to teacher training, or further study in maths or computer science.
A degree in mathematics tells an employer you have acquired a range of advanced mathematical and statistical techniques. Equally important, it shows that you have the ability and commitment to master intellectually difficult problems and that you have been trained in problem solving skills.
