Career options / job market
One of the typical features of the subject of Mathematics is that its graduates do not have their own sector in the job market. Mathematicians must rely on constantly finding new areas of employment, which is what has actually happened in the past in a most impressive manner. The interest in Mathematics graduates has clearly increased in industry in the last 15 years (in the area of research and development) but also in the economy in general, in insurance and in banking. In many branches of work, Mathematics involves a typically analytical way of thinking, which eminently helps in dealing with complex application problems of all kinds in various areas of work:
- Data processing, insurance mathematics, financial economics, logistics
- Medicine, drug industry, industrial production
- Teaching
- Public service and administration
