BSC APPLIED MATHEMATICS

Applied Mathematics

Overview

Mathematics underpins much of the modern world and is fundamental to science, technology, business and finance. In the BSc Applied Mathematics programme you will study essential mathematical topics as well as a range of applications. The programme emphasises versatile mathematical modelling techniques and offers a wide selection of optional modules, allowing you to follow your individual interests and career plans.

Through studying mathematics you will acquire highly flexible skills that will last a lifetime, including strong analytical abilities, problem-solving skills and an appreciation of the importance of logical reasoning. You will also develop computational proficiency and learn how mathematical modelling can be used to analyse real-world problems. These skills are vital to many industries and are highly sought-after by employers.

Why should I study Applied Mathematics at? XJTLU?

  • Join a vibrant learning environment of around 700 undergraduate students.

  • Benefit from XJTLU’s location in the?Suzhou Industrial Park, where there are opportunities to undertake internships at a variety of multinational companies and financial and technological institutions.
  • Earn two degrees: an XJTLU degree from the Chinese Ministry of Education and a globally recognised degree from the University of Liverpool, a member of the Russell Group of leading UK universities.

Knowledge and skills

By the time you graduate from the BSc Applied Mathematics, you will have:

  • a solid understanding of the core areas of mathematics including analysis, linear algebra, differential equations and statistics,
  • the ability to reason clearly and critically, and to construct mathematical arguments,
  • the ability to analyse a mathematical problem and select appropriate tools to solve it,
  • the ability to construct and assess mathematical models for real-world problems,
  • research experience gained through the completion of a final-year research project,
  • the ability to communicate mathematical information and ideas in English to both specialist and non-specialist audiences.

One of the best features of BSc Applied Mathematics is that it lays the foundation for many paths keeping lots of options open. From going down the route of academia, in all areas of mathematics, to jumping into the 'real-world', the skill of abstract thinking and logical problem solving honed in subjects ranging from geometry and algebra to probability and statistics will ensure your ability to deal with complexity in all walks of life.
