Section outline

  • We attach great importance to helping you with your future career plans and there is a member of academic staff with a particular remit for MSc careers.  A number of events will be laid on during the year to help support you.

    QM Careers Service

    Throughout your time as a postgraduate student at QMUL, and for up to two years after you graduate, you will have access to the Queen Mary Careers & Enterprise service.

    The School of Mathematical Sciences has a dedicated careers consultant, Gill Lambert, who will provide information, via email and social media, about relevant career events and opportunities taking place at QMUL and externally. To be fully informed you should:

    1. Check out the "Maths Careers" QMplus page, and read the notifications sent to you via email about events and opportunities;

    2. Follow qmcareers on Twitter.

    MSc Careers Workshops

    Previous years' programmes have included sessions on "CVs with Impact", "Effective Applications", "Interview Skills" and "Summer Job Search".  Details of this year's events will be communicated as they become available.

    Networking

    Attending the careers events promoted by Gill Lambert and the academic staff gives you the chance to meet people working in industries you might be interested in. We encourage you to make the most of any contact you have with professionals by asking them questions and seeking their advice about the realities of their career, how they secured their role and the steps they are taking to succeed in it.

    Mathematics Seminars

    You are welcome to attend all seminars run within the School of Mathematical Sciences and this may be particularly helpful if you are considering going on to PhD research. For more information about topics and times, please see the School's seminar webpages.
