Mathematics is the language that underpins the rest of science. The University of Essex Department of Mathematical Sciences has an international reputation in many areas like such as semi-group theory, optimization, probability, applied statistics, bioinformatics and mathematical biology. Graduate Diplomas last for six to nine months (full-time) and include the modules and assessed work of a Masters, without a dissertation. Essex's Graduate Diploma in Mathematics gives students training in basic mathematics techniques if their first degree contained only a modest amount of mathematics, so that students can proceed to a Masters in mathematics. Students gain an exceptional range of knowledge and skills that are currently in demand in mathematically oriented employment; in business, commerce, industry, government service, education and in the wider economy. The Department of Mathematical Sciences is a small but influential department, so students and staff know each other personally. Students never need an appointment to see their tutors and supervisors, just knock on their office doors – they are one of the few places to have an open-door policy, and no issue is too big or small. Essex graduates are highly sought after by a range of employers and find employment in financial services, scientific computation, decision-making support and government, risk assessment, statistics, education and other sectors.
