Career opportunities

Our course provides specialised training for a wide range of careers, equipping you with problem-solving, statistical, and strategic skills to excel in both industry and academia. Whether you're looking to pursue further academic study or enter the workforce, you'll graduate ready to apply your knowledge in diverse roles.

Our Mathematics graduates progress into a wide range of sectors, showcasing their diverse skill set. A large proportion now work in the banking industry, as well as within sectors focusing on financial services, consulting, finance, accounting and asset management.

Our graduates can be found in roles such as Director, Financial Analyst, Finance Manager, Research and Business Analyst, for companies such as Mycroft, HSBC, PwC, Golman Sachs, Intrasphere Technologies and Barclays.

The University has commissioned Cturtle as our data partner for tracking our alumni destinations. The data above is a subset from 225,503 alumni who completed their studies at Birmingham up to 31 July 2025.

After my second year during the summer I completed an Actuary internship with Barnett Waddingham. I found out about the opportunity by attending the Mathematics careers fair organised annually by the department, where companies both big and small who are looking to recruit University of Birmingham’s Mathematics graduates come to talk to students about the programmes they have to offer.

Whilst on this internship I completed many of the jobs a trainee Actuary would do in their first year of work, gaining an insight into this type of work and developing the skills required to pursue a career in actuarial science.

Completing the Mathematical Modelling and Problem Solving and Maths in Industry modules as part of my degree prepared me very well for my internship. The problem solving and teamwork skills developed in these modules helped me both when applying for this internship as I had lots of examples to draw upon at interview, as well as when completing the tasks on my internship, as I was able to approach difficult tasks and present my ideas with more confidence.

As a result of this internship I have been offered a trainee Actuary role after I graduate.Hannah
