Career opportunities Mathematics with Business Management Students who take this degree programme generally have an interest in working in the business and finance sector when they graduate, and the jobs they go into reflect this. They have found employment with companies such as KPMG and Merrill Lynch, in roles ranging from Securities Analyst to Auditor. Mathematics, Business Management and Finance Students take this degree programme because they are interested in finance, economics or business, and many go on to work for financial institutions. Others go on to graduate training schemes in a variety of companies: for example, with Enterprise Rent-a-Car. Mathematics, Statistics and Financial Economics Graduates have gone on to apply their excellent mathematical knowledge and skills to banking. Several have found employment as investment bankers, some with blue-chip companies such as Goldman Sachs. Of course, you are not restricted to working for financial companies – there are a wide range of sectors where you could gain employment. For example IT, pharmaceuticals, journalism, local and national government.
