Overview
The department is home to many internationally renowned mathematicians. The Mathematics students at University College London (UCL) go on to pursue successful careers in a variety of settings, primarily as postdoctoral researchers or in the world of finance. Excellent networking opportunities are provided by our central London location and close research links to other London universities.
General areas of expertise in pure mathematics include analysis, geometry, number theory and topology. In applied mathematics key areas of activity include fluid dynamics, mathematical modelling, mathematical physics, applied and numerical analysis and financial mathematics.
Careers
Recent graduates have taken up academic posts at universities such as UCL, Michigan, Sheffield, Mexico, Kyoto, California State; others have joined the financial services industry with companies such as Barclays Capital, Schroders, Deloitte, ABN Amro and J. P. Morgan; and others have become mathematics teachers and computer programmers. Some students have summer secondments, with two recent ones at the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills.
Employability
Many students go on to careers in financial services in the City; many others proceed to postdoctoral research and academic careers.
