Program Overview
Mathematics is the universal language of science and a beautiful subject in its own right. It is a discipline that also has important applications in industry and commerce, and well-qualified mathematicians are in great demand, with a wide choice of careers. For mathematicians with an interest and background in French this degree is ideal. It is a four-year degree programme with a year spent abroad typically studying mathematics through the medium of the chosen language.
Mathematics with French Degree highlights
In 2020, more than 90% of 1st and 2nd year Maths students expressed overall satisfaction with their course
Global Opportunities
As part of this degree programme you will have the opportunity to study mathematics at a French university. Additionally, we participate in the IAESTE and Turing student exchange programmes, which enable students to obtain work experience in companies and universities throughout the world.
Industry Links
We have key links with local companies who hire mathematics graduates. Several local financial services companies (including Clarus FT, EFFEX Capital and AquaQ Analytics) were founded by our former maths graduates.
World Class Facilities
The School of Mathematics and Physics is a large school with staff from 13 countries, including UK, US, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Bulgaria, Russia, Argentina, Cuba, Germany, China, Greece, Kenya, Niger, The Netherlands and Romania. Many of our staff are leading international experts in their fields of mathematical research. Thus the ethos of the School is one of excellence in research informing excellence in teaching.

Student Experience
Many students find the transition from school to university somewhat daunting. In order to help with this transition, mathematics students have pioneered a Peer Mentoring scheme that is generally regarded as one of the most effective in the University. As well as providing a forum for first year students to obtain support, it also provides mentors with transferable skills which will increase graduate employment opportunities.
After graduating I joined Allstate (in Chicago and Belfast) to work as a Predictive Modeller. Two years ago I moved to my current position. Unlike some careers, I am given the opportunity to put into practice what I have learned at university daily, whether that is computer programming, critical thinking, problem solving or presenting. Many of the courses I studied at Queen’s are fundamental for my day to day work: my notes from these courses still sit on my desk!
