Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Other maths related degrees

If you were good at maths (as opposed to writing long essays), and you decided NOT to take a maths degree, then what other options are there for people with brains like us?
Physics and Computing come to mind, but are there any other suggestions? They don't have to be 'well known' degrees.

Chemistry! Theoretical physics would be good :smile:

Different. These courses would involve the application of mathematical methods whereas maths is a study of the origins and foundations of these methods.
