S(APA) ALUMNI #3 – Career Prospects for Mathematics Graduates Are Broader Than You Think!

What is the most useful thing in life after graduation?
“Studying Mathematics is hard and won’t be useful in the working world.” That’s a phrase that used to come to me when I faced a tough assignment or a grueling exam. But after entering the workforce, I realized that the logical, analytical, and systematic thinking skills that I have now were all formed from a long process during college.
Things that once seemed “far from reality” have turned out to be an important foundation in my work that deals with numbers, risks, and decision-making. So if I used to think “what’s the point of all this?”, now I can confidently say: “Oh, this is where it’s at.” ...

S(APA) ALUMNI#2 – Can a Statistics Graduate Go Global?


What is the most useful thing in life after graduation?
“During college, I learned a lot about the importance of agility, which is the ability to learn and adapt quickly. In the UGM Statistics study program, one semester can contain 7 to 8 courses, and each meeting often covers one to several chapters at once, with a very fast learning rhythm. In such a situation, I am required to have agility, which is the ability to understand new things quickly, even when the material is completely new to me.
This ability turned out to be very useful, especially when undergoing internships and entering the workforce. In the professional world, we are often faced with new projects and unexpected challenges. So, the quick learning habits that I formed during my studies made me able to adapt more easily, become a fast learner, and be ready to face the changing dynamics of work.” ...

S(APA) ALUMNI#1 – What can you study in the Department of Mathematics?

 

What is the most useful thing in life after graduation?

“Initially, I did not expect that the way of thinking that I developed during my studies, especially the ability to think critically and systematically, would become one of the most valuable provisions in the world of work. When studying actuarial science, my focus was more on solving problems and assignments, without imagining that the analytical mindset that was constantly honed would actually help me adapt in a professional environment.
I experienced this when I did my internship at Bank Central Asia (BCA) in the Strategy and Service Operations Development Division, acting as a product owner. This experience sparked my interest in the product world, which eventually led me to a Product Management position at Prudential Syariah. Although the lecture material is not directly applied in my current workplace, the ability to analyze problems coherently, be detail-oriented, and make logic-based decisions is the main key in carrying out my current role.” ...
