Mathematics and Management BSc (Hons)

University of Nottingham Malaysia
Semenyih, Selangor
Mathematics and Management
The ability to reason quantitatively and logically lies at the heart of many management decisions. This programme is designed to equip students with the key skills for a Data Analyst needed to succeed in a wide range of business and management careers.

This degree is designed for a comprehensive education in mathematics, probability and statistics integrated with the theory and practice of business management and entrepreneurship. No previous knowledge of management or business studies is assumed.


How will I study?
Our programme is carefully designed to allow you to acquire the high level of cognition required to comprehend complex mathematical theories and rules, as well as the fundamentals of management and the most recent trends in business thinking. The joint disciplinary nature of the programme appeals to students who are mathematically inclined and who also wish to develop a knowledge of management topics such as human resources management, marketing, company finance and strategic management.

The Mathematics and Management programme is evenly divided between the two main subject areas, except in the first year when mathematics accounts for two-thirds of the programme. It draws upon the expertise of both the School of Mathematical Sciences and Nottingham University Business School (NUBS).


Industrial training
Although industrial training is not a compulsory module under the current programme structure, students are encouraged to look for a placement opportunity during the summer vacation after the second year of study. Industrial training provides a great way to help students to identify top career prospects and enhance their soft skills. The School of Mathematical Sciences has strong industrial linkages, and the Industrial Advisory Board of the School consists of senior professionals from major organizations including Maybank and the Malaysian Institute of Microelectronic Systems (MIMOS).


Career prospects
This programme is a joint honours degree offered in conjunction with Nottingham University Business School. It prepares students for careers in data analytics finance, commerce, as well as professions in mathematical and statistical modelling, and education. Students may choose to undergo further specialist training to qualify as actuaries and teachers, or work in areas such as insurance, research and development, administration and management. 

This degree provides careers-related skills development, and it is also an excellent preparation for PhD study.

BSc Mathematics and Management
In each year of the Honours programme, students must take modules accruing 120 credits. In the first year, 80 of these credits are in mathematics and 40 credits in management studies. In the second and third years, the students take 60 credits in each of the two disciplines.

During the first year (qualifying year), students will study core mathematics with modules in analytical and computational foundations, calculus and linear mathematics, as well as modules in probability and statistics. In management studies, students take modules such as work and society, business economics and organisational behaviour.

In the second and third years, the focus will be equally split between mathematics and management, with the opportunity to study a range of optional modules so much so that students can tailor the programme to their own interests.
