About this course

It’s all about applying your learning. Starting with algebra, calculus and statistics - the foundations of mathematics – before moving on to advanced topics like statistical modelling and machine learning.

Supported by our expert staff, you’ll get lots of chances to bring into play the mathematical skills you’ve explored and apply them through statistics. You’ll discover how these have unlocked some ground-breaking mathematics discoveries.

In today’s information age, a massive amount of information is gathered daily. That’s why statistical skills are highly valued in the workplace so we’ll help you develop yours. You’ll be hands-on throughout your course and regularly use our specialist equipment – including mathematical and statistical software, virtual reality and 3D printing technology.

Thanks to these practical experiences, you’ll be confident and work-ready when you graduate.

Our Mathematics degrees are current and relevant to the needs of the business. Our close links with the industry mean that, if you wish, you’ll have the opportunity to take up job placements with some of the world’s leading companies.

Foundation Year

We offer BSc (Hons) Mathematics with Statistics (with foundation year) which you can apply for if you don't meet the entry criteria for this course. See our course page for foundation modules.

  • Professional accreditation

    by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, which is a seal of approval from the professional body and will help you on your way to Chartered Mathematician status.

In today’s information age, a massive amount of information is gathered daily. In this course, we’ll teach you how to interpret patterns in data using statistics to make the correct decisions or predictions. Demand is high for talented statisticians in private and public sectors, such as market research, the NHS, environmental science, forensic science and government statistics.

Study abroad opportunities

Get ready to embark on an adventure with our study abroad programs at partner universities or by getting a work placement overseas. Both opportunities will boost your employability, build lifelong friendships, and allow you to experience the world in a whole new way.
