Mathematics with Data Science BSc (Hons),with foundation year and placement

What you will study

Our mathematics with data science courses help you build on your current knowledge and gain a strong foundation across the fundamentals of mathematics, data science and statistics. This includes algebra, analysis, probability and advanced calculus. Data science and statistics modules together comprise between one-quarter and one-third of the programme.

In your first year, you'll learn the fundamental role of mathematics for data science, develop your mathematical programming skills using Python (which will be further developed in Year 2) and gain experience with R programming.

In Year 3, you’ll be able to choose from a broad range of optional modules in topics such as experimental design, asset pricing theory, mathematical theory of data science, Bayesian statistics, and graphs and networks.
