Workforce or Alternate Careers
Some students search for work immediately after graduation. There鈥檚 a growing need for quantitative skills in private sector, industry, and government. While advanced roles require additional academic preparation, mathematics graduates land entry-level positions of all kinds. Check out just a few roles and sectors where the demand for mathematical skill is high.
An undergraduate degree may also be the foundation to pursue professional certifications such as the Financial Risk Manager Certification (FRM). Some of our graduates have also used their BSc degree to pursue further training in a related profession, such as accountancy, computer science or teaching.
鈥淒uring my Mathematics program, I chose many options in Computer Science. After graduation, I was hired as a Data Analyst at Bank of America in New York City, where I interpreted data in order to identify patterns and collected relevant data for continuous research. Later, I moved into business support management. Now, I鈥檓 working in the bank鈥檚 database security space, which applies both my technology and business background.鈥�
Pathway to Postgraduate Studies
With an Honours BSc degree in hand, you might also consider pursuing your master鈥檚 degree or even a PhD in mathematics or related field. Graduates with master鈥檚 degrees may qualify for more advanced quantitative roles in the workforce. Those with PhDs may go on to pursue postdoctoral research positions or professorial positions.
In the Department of Mathematics, graduate students work 1:1 with a supervising faculty member to conduct specialized research. Currently, students choose from one of three areas: discrete mathematics and networks, biomathematics and fluids, or financial mathematics.
