Mathematics matters in the real world. These words are often stated. In this module we put these words to the test: (i) You will develop key professional skills; (ii) You will build core mathematical and computing skills; (iii) You will combine these skills to explore important societal themes from a mathematical perspective and support an evidence-based argument; (iv) You will reflect on the skills gained and their application, and how they fit in with your degree as a whole and your future career paths; (v) You will further explore these themes in a work placement.

The module has a number of distinctive features: Each exploration starts with a plenary-style colloquium from an expert scientist or engineer; In small classroom-based group work sessions you will develop and apply a variety of mathematical, statistical and computational techniques to analyse and dissect the expert opinion; You will communicate the analyses from your group to your peers for discussion and report your findings; A series of workshops will help you to understand how your mathematical and professional skills connect to the workplace; You will be supported in identifying appropriate work placements.
