Mathematics and Management (Hons)

Overview

This Mathematics and Management (Hons) degree from The University Of Nottingham Malaysia 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.

Course structure

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 the management studies, students take modules such as entrepreneurship, business economics and organisational behaviour.  

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

Career

This programme is a joint honours degree offered in conjunction with Nottingham University Business School.

It prepares students for careers in finance, commerce, the professions in mathematical and statistical modelling, and education. Students may choose to undergo further specialist training to qualify as accountants, 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.
