SCHOOL OF MATHEMATICS AND STATISTICS


TE KURA PĀNGARAU


19 August 2023

New processes, techniques, and theories are constantly being devised, tested,
and explored in maths and stats. From business management and biology to
physical sciences and engineering, our specialists develop new tools and
techniques to deal with problems. Learn more about UC's School of Mathematics
and Statistics.

New processes, techniques and theories are constantly being devised, tested and
explored in mathematics and statistics.

Computers have created demand for statistical and mathematical analysis in many
new fields and our specialists develop new tools and techniques to deal with
problems in areas from business management to biology, as well as considering
new insights in the physical sciences and engineering.

The result is new applications of mathematics and statistics, as well as new
theoretical work on the structure of the mathematics involved.

WHAT CAREER PROSPECTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR GRADUATES OF THE SCHOOL OF MATHS AND
STATS?
KEYBOARD_ARROW_DOWN

The career options for graduates with a background in mathematics extend far
beyond what you may initially imagine. While many students may take up positions
where mathematics is not the primary focus of the business, their mathematical
skills remain their greatest asset. This is because mathematics, along with its
analytical and logical thinking, plays a crucial role in comprehending and
resolving a wide range of quantitative problems. Whether it's electricity
generation, data compression, weather forecasting, or the study of bone density
loss, mathematics graduates are equipped with the tools to tackle these
challenges.

In today's technology-driven world, mathematics graduates, particularly those
with a well-rounded foundation in mathematical, statistical, and computer
skills, possess a qualification that seamlessly integrates with various
industries. Applied mathematicians, in particular, are highly sought after in
fields where deterministic models are needed. This includes disciplines such as
seismology, earth sciences, meteorology, chemical and forensic industries,
health, ecology and conservation, transportation and scheduling, engineering,
and computing, among others.

For those with expertise in both applied mathematics and statistics,
incorporating both deterministic and stochastic models, the range of career
opportunities expands even further. Areas such as social science, financial
services and insurance, epidemiology, quality assurance, economics, policy,
government, and numerous others come into play. The versatility of mathematics
and statistics allows graduates to make valuable contributions across diverse
sectors and make a meaningful impact in various fields.

As a mathematics graduate, you possess a skill set that is highly valued and in
demand, offering you a world of possibilities and the opportunity to contribute
to solving complex problems in multiple industries.

 We hope these brief FAQ’s provides you with the information you need. If you
have further inquiries, don't hesitate to reach out to our Course Planning
Advisors or the School's administrative office. We look forward to supporting
you on your academic journey at the School of Mathematics and Statistics,
University of Canterbury!
