Undergraduate | TU Dublin

We also offer part-time undergraduate programmes in mathematics.

General description

We offer a single CAO entry, TU874 BSc (Hons) Mathematical Sciences, that leads to two honours-level (Level 8) degree qualifications: BSc (Hons) Mathematical Sciences and BSc (Hons) Industrial Mathematics. Both are four-year, full-time undergraduate programmes, which use the latest mathematical and statistical tools and technology. We accept applications from mature, non-standard and international students and applications for advanced entry.

Aims

The programmes are designed to develop high-level reasoning and in-depth knowledge and an understanding and appreciation of mathematical sciences and their applications. They are modern and relevant, delivered on our state-of-the-art, purpose-built facilities in Grangegorman, near the centre of Dublin.

Careers

Mathematicians and statisticians are some of the most sought-after professionals. Our graduates possess the transferrable skills that are required in the modern, technological workplace and are ready to succeed in rewarding and lucrative careers across a wide range of sectors. They are immensely flexible, ready to embark upon high-achieving careers in financial services, data analysis, statistics, ICT, applied technologies, teaching, and many other sectors.

Features

Delivered by experienced, approachable lecturers who use mathematical modelling, statistical data analysis and industry software to ensure that our highly-skilled, graduates possess the problem-solving, analytical and ICT skills required in the world today.
Career readiness is supported by a work placement in the third year of study: an exciting and invaluable opportunity to develop transferrable skills and appreciate the importance of mathematics in many industries.
Research and communication skills are emphasised throughout the programmes culminating in a supervised research project on a relevant topic or application.
Stage tutors provide a supportive environment for students and offer assistance and feedback during their studies and the Mathematics Learning Centre ensures a smooth transition to college and third-level education.
Many students continue to postgraduate level, even after starting their careers, and our undergraduate degrees are excellent preparation for postgraduate study or postgraduate research in the School.

TU874 BSc Honours Mathematical Sciences

TU874 BSc (Hons) Mathematical Sciences is a broad-based mathematics degree that develops a deep knowledge and understanding of all branches of mathematics from pure and applied mathematics to statistics and operations research. The programme emphasises the applications of mathematical principles to real-world problems through mathematical modelling and practical problem-solving. Graduates of the programme possess highly-developed analytical and problem-solving skills and are well placed to embark on high-achieving careers in science, industry, commerce, teaching, the public sector and other professions. Graduates of the programme are also qualified to proceed to graduate study and higher degrees by research. For details of modules and the structure of the programme, please visit the Course page.

TU873 BSc Honours Industrial Mathematics

Students may transfer to the programme TU873 after completing year 2 of TU874. The programme focuses in later years on the mathematical topics that are of particular relevance and importance to careers in industry following an initial broad-based introduction to mathematical sciences. Graduates of TU873 BSc (Hons) Industrial Mathematics are therefore ideally prepared for careers as mathematicians in business and industry. Mathematicians are found throughout industry and the ability to apply mathematical rigour and problem-solving techniques in analytical roles within industry, ensures that mathematical graduates are in high demand across a wide range of industries. In addition to developing a deep technical understanding of mathematics and its application to real-world problems, the programme develops the knowledge and non-technical skills required by employers.
