MATHEMATICAL & PHYSI CAL SCIENCES Mathematical Science BSc (Hons) (NFQ Level 8)
develop strong mathematical, problem-solving and analytical skills that are used in areas such as banking and finance, meteorology and climate research, pharmaceutical research, software design and coding and cryptography.
Why is this course for me? If you enjoy Mathematics or have an aptitude for logical thinking, then UCD’s four-year degree in Mathematical Science is an ideal choice for you. Set up in response to the demands of business and industry for people trained in analytical thinking, it is a highly respected and fully flex- ible programme. You will learn the accurate and concise language of Mathematics that underpins many of the technological advances of the mod- ern world and how to model mathematically a wide variety of real-world problems and present your solutions clearly.
What will I study? Tis is a sample pathway for a degree in Mathematical Science. Topics include statistical modelling, probability theory, computational science, cryptography, financial mathematics and actuarial statistics.
First Year Statistics • Mathematics • Applied and Computational Mathematics • Computer Science • Elective modules Second Year Statistics • Mathematics • Applied and Computational Mathematics • Elective modules Third Year Statistics • Mathematics • Applied and Computational Mathematics • Elective modules Fourth Year Statistics • Mathematics • Applied and Computational Mathematics
Career & Graduate Study Opportunities Tere is a high demand for Mathematical Science graduates in communications and information technology, coding and cryptography, educa- tion, finance and banking, government statis- tics, healthcare, mathematical and statistical modelling, meteorology and climate research, pharmaceutical research, software design, sta- tistical and agricultural research and the civil service. With a Mathematical Science degree, you
will be well equipped to pursue research at MSc or PhD level in a range of disciplines includ- ing actuarial science, applied mathematics,

Manning STUDENT
I study bits of pure Maths, Applied Maths, Statistics and even Physics, so it never gets boring. You also get some great lecturers who are really passion- ate about their subjects. Maths is a great choice for anybody who loves to solve problems. I’m a
member of the Maths Society, Mathsoc, here in UCD, and I’m training for intervarsities at the moment. Getting involved in clubs and socie- ties is important at university and I’m also on Belfield FM this year. Hopefully at the end of my degree I’ll be able to go on and do a master’s and a PhD and spend my life doing maths.
