What will you study?

Studying Lancaster's combined Management Mathematics degree gives you the benefit of top-quality teaching in our Department of Management Science and the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, where staff carry out world-leading research and many are actively involved with business and government organisations.

Your degree explores how Mathematics informs decision-making processes in business, industry and government and you'll use mathematical and computer-based models alongside visual or verbal representations to analyse the development and application of solutions to real managerial problems.

You'll be able to choose from an extensive range of options, starting your degree with courses covering Calculus; Matrix Methods; Introduction to Management Science, and Operational Research. In your second year, you'll take subjects such as Linear Algebra and Project Management and Consultancy Skills. Your final year modules include Optimisation and Business Modelling and Simulation.

For a list of compulsory modules, please see the tab above.

A four-year work-experience variant of this degree is also available: please indicate your proposed intention to take the work-experience variant in Section 3 of your UCAS application.

Where could it take you?

The logical and analytical skills you'll develop by studying Management Science and Mathematics are appreciated by employers in a wide variety of occupations and can be transferred easily to a range of situations.

Lancaster graduates find our Management Mathematics degree is an ideal foundation for careers in the private sector - in consultancy companies or manufacturing, for example- as well as the service or public sector, such as the NHS.

Some of our former alumni are now based in a management science group, while others are part of multi-functional teams. Many are now in senior positions.
