BSc Management and Mathematics
UCAS Code: GN12
Duration: 3 years full-time
Programme Structure: Year One
Typical Offer
AAA from three A-levels including Grade A Mathematics.
You must also have GCSE English Language, minimum
Grade B
Taught By
 School of Mathematics (parent school)
 Leeds University Business School
In the second year you may split the two subjects in a 2:1
ratio, while in the third year equal time is spent on the two
subjects.
Variants
This is a three year-full time programme. There is
opportunity to do our Study Abroad or Year in Industry
schemes, which would make the programme a four year
degree.
Programme Aims
This programme offers in-depth coverage of mathematics,
statistics, economics and psychology embedded in a
management context. Exploiting the synergies between
quantitative techniques and management theory will give
you an edge in understanding the mathematical
representation of business situations and the evaluation of
evidence within complex organisational systems. This
programme will provide you with analytical, mathematical
and management skills, for a successful business career.
Compulsory modules: 50 credits in Business and 75 credits
in Mathematics.
LUBS 1225 Accounting for Managers: giving you an
overview of the accounting practices relevant to
management.
LUBS 1850 Organisational Behaviour: looking at human
behaviour in organisations from the point of view of the
individual employee, the work group and the organisation.
LUBS 1940 Economics for Management: giving you a
grounding in basic economic theory as it applies to
business.
MATH 1050 Calculus and Mathematical Analysis:
revision of integration and differentiation, and extensions to
more than one dimension.
MATH 1055 Numbers and Vectors: introducing you to
three influential developments from the 19th century –
complex numbers, vectors and the rigorous notion of limit.
MATH 1060 Introductory Linear Algebra: covers the ideas
involved in solving simultaneous equations, and using
matrices and determinants.
MATH 1400 Modelling with Differential Equations:
developing the theory of differential equations and applying
it to produce mathematical models.
MATH 1510 Financial Mathematics 1: an introduction to
financial mathematics, the application of mathematics to
financial problems.
MATH 1710 Probability and Statistics I: introducing
probability, random variables and statistical learning.
MATH 1712 Probability and Statistics II: covering
sampling, statistical tests and regression techniques.
BSc Management and Mathematics
Programme Structure: Year Two

An additional 20 to 55 credits from 15 Mathematics optional
modules to bring your MATH modules up to at least 50
credits these include: MATH 2210 Introduction to Discrete
Mathematics (an introduction to finite mathematical
structures in graph theory and computability), MATH 2650
Calculus of Variations (minimising over functional degrees
of freedom, for example, finding minimal surfaces) or MATH
2775 Survival Analysis (study how long it takes for random
events to occur, for example, insurance claims).
There is also the opportunity to study up to 20 credits of
Discovery Modules with approval of the programme coordinator.
Programme Structure: Year Three
You will undertake a final year project, and take options
from a wide range of pure and applied mathematics,
statistics and management.
Compulsory modules comprising 40 credits:
LUBS 3070 Strategic Management
LUBS 3885 Management Decision Making
In management, you can choose up to a further 20 credits
from 16 modules, for example: LUBS 3004
Entrepreneurship and Innovation, LUBS 3530
Advertising and Promotional Management, LUBS 3915
Employment Law or TRAN 3040 Physical Distribution
and Logistics.
In Mathematics, you can choose between 60 and 85 credits
from over 40 modules (mostly 10 or 15 credits). For
example, MATH 3033 Graph Theory (study topics such as
colouring problems for mathematical graphs), MATH 3397
Nonlinear Dynamics (further study of nonlinear differential
equations, the theory of bifurcations) or MATH 3733
Stochastic Financial Modelling (probabilistic tools to study
the pricing of stocks and shares).

Important Information
Information provided by the University such as in
presentations, University brochures and the University
website, is accurate at the time of first disclosure. However,
courses, University services and content of publications
remain subject to change. Changes may be necessary to
comply with the requirements of accrediting bodies or to
keep courses contemporary through updating practices or
areas of study. Circumstances may arise outside the
reasonable control of the University, leading to required
changes. Such circumstances include, industrial action,
unexpected student numbers, significant staff illness (where
a course is reliant upon a person’s expertise), unexpected
lack of funding, severe weather, fire, civil disorder, political
unrest, government restrictions and serious concern with
regard to the transmission of serious illness making a
course unsafe to deliver. After a student has taken up a
place with the University, the University will look to give
early notification of any changes and try to minimise their
impact, offering suitable alternative arrangements or forms
of compensation where it believes there is a fair case to do
so. Offers of a place to study at the University will provide
up to date information on courses.
