Description	This module aims to develop the professional skills that employers expect of mathematics graduates. It focuses on developing problems solving abilities and team-working skills, particularly with reference to the types of poorly specified problems encountered in industry. The ability to present mathematical ideas to expert and non-expert audiences, through presentations, short reports and poster presentations is also developed. The module will be enhanced through sessions run by employers and recent alumni.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: demonstrate an awareness of how mathematics is used in industry and of the career pathways open to mathematics graduates approach real world problems with confidence and interest, formulate them mathematically and suggest an approach to solving them understand what it means to work in a team and demonstrate the ability to work in a team on real world problems that might have mathematical solutions give presentations suitable for both expert and non-expert audiences prepare short reports on a mathematical topic of both a technical and a non-technical nature prepare posters on a mathematical topic of both a technical and non-technical nature produce a CV and job application appropriate to a particular job description.
