Introduction:
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 computational statistics.
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.
Research scholarships
Every year we offer a small number of Mathematics Undergraduate Research Scholarships (MURS), giving successful applicants funding for a six-to-eight-week placement in one of our research teams. This is an excellent opportunity for you to further your research interests and contribute to the academic activities of the mathematics department.
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.
