Course Content

This course enables you to study a substantial amount of Mathematics coupled with selected topics from the field of management. Mathematics accounts for between two-thirds and three-quarters of the course with the same wide-ranging approach as the straight Mathematics course. However, we place greater emphasis on statistics and operational research as these areas are especially relevant to management theory.

The remainder of the course consists of selected management topics in areas such as accountancy, finance and organisational studies – all taught at Brunel Business School. If you would prefer a greater proportion of management, you might think about a Mathematical and Management Studies BSc.

Final year project

This is a very valuable feature of the Mathematics and Statistics with Management BSc course – a substantial piece of individual, course-related work personally supervised by a staff member. Projects are often connected to staff research areas and may also be in response to industry demands. Work on the project accounts for about one-third of your final year study load.

Choose either a mathematical project supervised by a member of staff from Mathematics or a management project supervised by a member of staff from Brunel Business School. Explore in-depth a topic of particular interest to you or work on a practical problem – the choice is yours.

Although students who undertake a work placement year can choose to focus their final year project on their work experience, they may also select from the projects offered each year by the Mathematics staff. During 2010-2011 over 150 project titles were available to final year Mathematics undergraduates. These covered a very wide range of mathematical areas and applications including, for example:

  • The very famous ’travelling salesman problem’ (also known as ’the lazy waiter’!)
  • The discovery and identification of clustering behaviour in financial markets
  • The Mathematics of complex networks such as the web, or even Facebook
  • Applications of statistics to the premier league, police complaints data and global warming
  • Investigating traffic flow (are traffic lights better than roundabouts?)

In addition to all of these topic areas, our students also have opportunities to study modern theories in quantitative finance, with particular emphasis on the Mathematics and computation underlying the powerful and influential financial derivatives (e.g. options) industry. Often termed the ‘Black-Scholes theory’, this is famous for winning its discoverers a Nobel prize, as well as for its misapplication often being blamed (rightly or wrongly) for the current worldwide financial crisis.

Most of our projects can be carried out in ways that suit the student's strengths and interests. For example, it is often possible to choose to emphasise concrete applications or abstract theory, and the project can be carried out using theoretical tools only, or computational tools only, or a mixture of both.
