This four-year version of the degree includes a year of paid work in a mathematician and/or statistician role during year three. Students will return to Cardiff following the successful completion of their work placement at the start of the autumn semester ready for their final year of studies.

In a competitive graduate job market, a placement can help them to gain extra skills and experience to make them stand out from the crowd. It could help students to secure a permanent role after they graduate, as well as providing real-world context to support their studies. If they're not sure what career path to follow, it's a great opportunity to explore their options and might even help them make those all-important decisions about their future.
