If you studied Maths at university...
Further study is a popular option for mathematics graduates. Postgraduate study at Masters level, for example, can be useful for some maths-related careers such as operational research, medical statistics in pharmaceutical companies, meteorology and engineering design. A PhD may be helpful for finding work in these areas and is essential for academic careers.
Most finance-related careers and actuarial work require further study during employment to complete professional exams. You'll typically be expected to study in your own time.
You could study a specific statistics course, such as applied, medical and official statistics.
For more information on further study and to find a course that interests you, see Masters degrees and search postgraduate courses in mathematics.
