Overview
Introduction
The BSc in Mathematics, Statistics and Business provides a thorough grounding in the practical application of mathematical and statistical theory in the business world.
Taught in a supportive and friendly department, you’ll study an incredibly broad range of topics covering maths, statistics, economics and accounting in your first year. From the second year, you can tailor your studies to suit your interests and career aspirations by choosing one of the following pathways:
- applicable mathematics
- applied statistics
- actuarial science (courses are identical to those in the BSc Actuarial Science)
- economics
- finance
- accounting.
You’ll get stuck into practical projects – helping to develop your problem-solving and communication skills. Many of our students also complete internships in actuarial and financial firms or placement companies during their degree – providing invaluable workplace experience and providing the edge over other graduates.
Several courses also provide exemptions from professional examinations from the Institute of Actuaries.
Preliminary readings
Watch The Joy of Stats, a documentary that gives an insight into the exciting world of statistics.
For an introduction to mathematics as it is applied in economics and finance:
- M Anthony and N Biggs Mathematics for Economics and Finance (Cambridge University Press, 1996)
Much of university level mathematics and statistics is concerned with formal proofs and rigorous mathematical argument and this is necessary for some of the advanced mathematics required in finance, economics and other fields of application. For an introduction, we recommend:
- R Allenby Numbers and Proofs (Butterworth- Heinemann, 1997)
- P Eccles An Introduction to Mathematical Reasoning (Cambridge University Press, 1997)
- T Gowers Mathematics: a very short introduction (Oxford University Press, 2002)
- D Hand Statistics: a very short introduction (Oxford University Press, 2008)
- M Liebeck A Concise Introduction to Pure Mathematics (Chapman & Hall/CRC Mathematics, 2005)
