This programme provides comprehensive training in modern, pure, and applied mathematics, accompanied by a strong foundation in key areas of contemporary statistics. Students have the opportunity to engage with both mathematics and statistics courses each year throughout the programme. Studying mathematics alongside statistics offers a dynamic blend of analytical problem-solving skills and data interpretation, fostering versatile expertise applicable across diverse industries such as finance, research, technology, and decision-making. This combination equips individuals to address complex real-world challenges, making them highly sought after in a wide array of career paths.We have carefully designed a curriculum that teaches a comprehensive programme in modern mathematics. Our programmes also includes courses that emphasize practical and transferable skills, IT expertise, and career readiness. Activities include, giving presentations, producing independent research reports, working in groups to solve problems, and developing your career skills. Our mathematics degrees are ranked 1st for graduate employment prospects in The Times Good University Guide 2024. Our recent mathematics graduates use their skills in the Financial, Engineering, Data Science and Professional Services sectors, and more.Maths CaféThe Maths Cafe is a peer supported initiative that allows maths students to seek help, ask questions or just chat about maths with their peers. The sessions are coordinated by the Maths Gym and organised and guided by peer mentors who are year 3, 4 and 5 maths students. Participants gain invaluable skills in teaching and communicating mathematics. The Maths Café provides support in the following areas:help with difficult tutorial questions and exam revisionadvice on how to manage your workload and organise studiesforming study groups and chatting about maths in an informal atmosphereMaxwell Institute for Mathematical SciencesWe are part of theMaxwell Institute for Mathematical Sciences, a joint research institute bringing together within a single body the research activities of:•TheDepartment of Mathematicsat Heriot-Watt University<br>•TheDepartment of Actuarial Mathematics andStatisticsat Heriot-Watt University<br>•TheSchool of Mathematicsat the University of EdinburghThe Maxwell Institute promotes the development of new mathematical theory and tools meaning that the mathematics that we teach is up-to-date and relevant for solving current real world problems.International Centre for Mathematical Sciences (ICMS)ICMSis jointly owned by Heriot-Watt University and the University of Edinburgh, with support from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council of the UK. Its aims are to advance the mathematical sciences and highlight the impact of mathematical innovation, promoting interactions with other disciplines, industry and commerce. ICMS organises international workshops and conferences in all areas of mathematics, and these attract leading mathematical scientists from across the globe.
