Professional placements

Valuable work experienceBrunel has always placed great emphasis on the practical and personal skills that are essential to graduates who want to find a good job.

Earn while you learnEase some of the burden of your living costs. Salaries for placements vary but usually range from £12,000 to £17,000. A few successful students have earned much more.

Improve your degree classificationPlacements allow you to develop many skills, ranging from applied skills such as computer programming, testing, analysis and IT support, to transferable skills such as time management, communication skills and team-working skills. On top of all this, our research shows that students undertaking a placement perform better academically, in many cases by one degree classification higher.

Enhance your employabilityCompetition for graduate jobs is stiff. You may need more than a good degree to land the job you want. A year spent in industry, makes you a more appealing candidate for employers. You will develop many of the skills needed for the workplace, and it will show that you have the drive and the initiative to get yourself organised. In fact, many students are offered employment with their placement companies after graduation. Some may even be offered a bursary to help them during their final year.

Get a taste of your chosen careerPlacements can give you the opportunity to get a taste of what may be your chosen career. Trying out a role during a placement can help you decide if it’s really for you before committing to it as a long-term career.

Course information

Ways of studyingThere are four ways of studying a full-time Undergraduate degree in the Department of Mathematical Sciences

1. Four-year thick sandwich – BSc Includes one 14 month professional work placement.

2. Three-year degree – BSc Does not include any integrated professional work placements.

3. Five-year thick sandwich – MMath Includes one 14 month professional work placement.

4. Four-year degree – MMath Does not include any integrated professional work placements.

Mathematics courses

The Mathematics degree programmes have a common core of modules covering about two thirds of level 1 and half of level 2. See individual course outlines for a breakdown of specialist options in all three levels. During level 1, you will have the opportunity to re-evaluate your original degree choice and, if you wish, switch to a related mathematics course.

Final year project

An unusual and very valuable feature of the course is the final year project. This is a substantial piece of individual work in an area of study connected with the course. Each student’s project is personally supervised by a member of staff and the work on the project occupies about one-third of the final year study load. You will have the opportunity to explore a topic of particular interest to you in depth or work on a practical problem of your choice. The decision is yours.
