Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Mathematics with Finance and Diploma in Industrial Training

Those who want to start their career with a year's work experience in hand, then they should consider this course. It combines the rigorous studies of the BSc (Hons) in Mathematics with Finance with a year-long work placement in level 4. Good performance means 12 months' experience of working in an organisation in the financial sector. The Diploma in Industrial Training is gained through successful completion of this work placement. The work placement helps students to develop specific work-related skills, giving them the opportunity to apply and build upon the theory they learn in their studies. It allows students to take on real responsibilities, enhance their interpersonal skills through teamwork and communication and experience workplace culture.

The Diploma is available to all students, including those from overseas, as it does not require a work visa. those who are planning to come to the UK using a student visa they should check the Tier 4 Student Visa Policy Guidance to confirm they are permitted to undertake a work placement as part of their studies. It is students' responsibility to find a suitable work placement; acceptance onto the course does not guarantee them a placement. If they are registered on the course and are unable to find a suitable work placement before the end of level 3 then they can transfer to the standard BSc (Hons) in Mathematics with Finance degree.
