Enhancing Employability Skills of Math Undergraduates with Alumni and STEM Professionals

Dr. Ewan Russell collaborates with alumni and STEM professionals to boost the employability skills of undergraduate mathematicians. This project aligns with the QAA Benchmark Statement for Mathematics, Statistics, and Operational Research (MSOR) by focusing on key skills such as independent learning, problem-solving, time management, adaptability, IT proficiency, logical assessment, numeracy, and communication. The initiative includes projects like Time Constraint, Client Collaboration, Mathematical Research, and Group Formation to provide hands-on experiences for students.

  2. Skills of a mathematician The QAA Benchmark Statement for Mathematics, Statistics and Operational Research (MSOR) suggests skills MSOR graduates possess should include: • general study skills • ability to learn independently • work independently • pursuing the solution of a problem to its conclusion • time-management and organisation • adaptable • general IT skills • able to transfer knowledge from one context to another • to assess problems logically and to approach them analytically • highly developed skills of numeracy • general communication skills, “such as the ability to write coherently and communicate results clearly"
