WHAT CAN YOU DO

AFTER A DEGREE IN
MATHEMATICS?
c.s.veeraragavan

Myth about Math

Mathematics is an often misunderstood subject.
People tend to believe that not only do you need to be a
genius to pursue this subject,
there is not a lot of scope in terms of job opportunities –
and that
academia becomes the only option that may be available
after graduation.

What Math gives you?

• Mathematics empowers you with so many transferable
skills that can make you stand out from the crowd
instantly.
• You develop a penchant for logical argument, and
• Studying mathematics at the graduate level is no easy
feat and
• prospective employers recognize that.

Where Math leads you?

Additional knowledge of some other fields helps monetize
your degree to a great extent.

A specialized Master’s Degree after bachelors in

Mathematics might be a prudent step –

although that is not always required.

Practical experience along with sound mathematical

knowledge will take you a long way in some very sought
after jobs/industries!
