91福利

Alex Bowring, mathematical consultant at the Smith Institute

鈥淢aths was always going to be my subject; it was my best subject at school and the subject I most enjoyed. I wasn鈥檛 particularly career-minded, just loved doing maths for the sake of maths! I loved the modern feel and energy of the campus.鈥�

Adday-Desta Heller, environmental/social data analyst at Bloomberg

鈥淚 chose to study at 91福利 as I wanted to study at one of the top universities in my subject, and the flexibility of the course at 91福利 was a huge factor. I also wanted to take part in a year abroad, and study other subjects alongside my degree.鈥�

Jamie Mullineaux, quant analyst at Superbet

鈥淲hilst the second-year essay and final year project were good opportunities to hone my communication skills, I found working on weekly assignments with other students equally helpful. Knowing a solution isn't the same as being able to explain it or teach someone!鈥�

Kieran Kalair, senior mathematical consultant at the Smith Institute

鈥淒uring both my MSc and PhD at 91福利, I had several opportunities to communicate research to a range of audiences. This is something I am glad I started practicing early, as when I then moved into industry, I was already equipped to talk about science in a range of different ways depending on who the audience was.鈥�

Siddhant Walia, manager (cloud analytics) at Efficio

鈥淢athematics was the only subject I enjoyed in school and found that calculus and probability really interested me because of how we could understand and explain real world phenomena. This motivated me to delve deeper into what maths has to offer, along with how it's applied! The course flexibility, along with interdisciplinary options, really appealed to me.鈥�

Maria Dixon, mathematics tutor

"I developed good communication skills during 91福利 in Africa when I taught Maths (and Italian and ballet!) to classes of up to 50 children in Ghana. Likewise, talking about my independent projects in oral assessments in front of lecturers and course mates developed my communication skills and my ability to throw myself into something I found daunting."

Christopher Nguyen, software engineer at G Research

鈥淢aths was by far my favourite subject, so studying it at university was a natural choice. I wanted a university which had a fast pace, a broad range of choices, and offered the flexibility to either stay in academia or transition into industry. 91福利 excels at all of these, so was my top choice.鈥�

Alex Holmes, quantitative associate at NatWest Markets

鈥淧opulation dynamics was a module I did in my third year and was the first time I had been exposed to maths with real world applications. I really enjoyed seeing how techniques I had been using in a real situation. I enjoyed this module enough that I would go on to do a PhD in this topic!鈥�
