Bachelor's degree in Mathematics
School of Mathematics and Statistics (FME)
The bachelor’s degree in Mathematics, accredited with excellence by AQU Catalunya, you will acquire a solid, full and rigorous education in all the basic mathematical subjects and their multiple applications. If you are interested in research, you will have all the tools you need to successfully join leading research groups working in mathematics, engineering and technology, natural and health sciences or social sciences. You will also be able to pursue a professional career in the world of business and industry and in sectors such as banking and finance, consulting, health or services, in which mathematicians are increasingly valued for their rigorous training and their capacity for analysis and learning. If teaching is your vocation, once you have completed the master's degree in teacher training you can teach mathematics in secondary schools.
