During his placement year James Long worked at Converse UK, in the heart of central London, as a Data Analyst.
He said "My duties varied throughout the week, but mainly revolved around compiling reports to monitor how Converse was performing in the UK through its main revenue-driving accounts such as JD, ASOS etc. I would send these reports on to the wider business to provide a clear and concise insight into how Converse was selling in the UK marketplace."
James added "I really loved the idea of working at Converse because it wasn’t the typical approach to a mathematician’s placement. I think there’s a common misconception that if you do a maths degree then you are limited to enter finance or academia. This was not only a chance for me to hone and develop my analytical skills in a business, but it was an area I’m interested in outside of academia which is the fashion industry."

Jocelyn decided to study mathematics with finance at Leeds after she enjoyed studying maths at school.
The course has a wide range of modules which attracted Jocelyn. She said "I enjoy the fact that the content of the modules in this course is very much related to applications of mathematics in real life. Because of this, I feel more intrigued to go on learning and I feel eager to attend lectures and seminars."
Whilst at the University of Leeds, Jocelyn has settled into student life and all it has to offer. She said "There is always something for everyone no matter how odd your hobbies may be. As for me, I love yoga and meditation. I spend an hour every day during my free time attending yoga class at the gym. It helps me to relax, empty my mind and make me feel energized throughout the day."

Carina decided to study at Leeds for two reasons. She said "first, I was very impressed with the wide range of module options that were available on my course. I was also very keen to learn more about programming and in particular use a lot of 'R' in my first year in statistics. Second, I really liked an idea of having a university campus so close to a major city. The city of Leeds is so diverse and has so much to offer, making it a very enjoyable place to live."
While at Leeds Carina has taken part in some exciting projects. She commented "I recently did a group project on the fact that 0.999...=1, this was very interesting because logically it seems impossible but when exploring the mathematics behind it, it turns out to be true and possible to be proven in multiple different ways. This is a very good example of the “magic” of mathematics, of how mathematics can be very rigorous in proving things that at first don’t logically seem true."

Leon first visited Leeds for an open day and fell in love with the university and the city. He said "The primary reason I chose Leeds was because of what it had to offer in terms of my course. The course outline looked very interesting and after speaking to some students and getting good feedback on the open day, I knew this was going to be the university for me."
He added "The university of Leeds being part of the Russell group of Universities in the UK was also another aspect that influenced my decision to study here. Also, I was looking forward to getting into a lot of extra curricular activities and after seeing what the student union had to offer in terms of clubs and societies, I was intrigued. In addition, Leeds had the reputation of having the best student life in the UK in terms of interesting things to do and places to go."

Mirusaine always enjoyed studying maths, particularly at A Level. The breadth of the degree at Leeds attracted her to apply. She said: “regardless of what type of maths you like, there are modules covering it.
“I also liked the fact that I could choose a lot of the modules I wanted to do myself, allowing me to really make the degree my own. I have been focussing a lot on the applied modules this year, like mathematical biology.”
Throughout her degree Mirusaine has been able to pick a wide range of modules, often quite different to each other. She commented “In my second year, I chose a module called ‘the mathematics of music’ which was incredibly interesting. It’s not something I’ve ever considered before and really opened my eyes to the ubiquity of maths.”
She added “I also chose the ‘maths into schools’ module. This one was based around how maths is taught in schools, giving us the opportunity to see this first-hand, interact with students, and complete a project of our choice.”
