Statistics and Management for Business BSc

About

Course overview

This is a joint degree programme taught by UCL Statistical Science and the UCL School of Management.

You will take roughly half your modules in statistics and mathematics; the other half will consist of modules in management, accountancy, finance and (optionally) economics. While the first and second years provide a solid foundation in statistics, mathematics and management, a wide range of options is available in the third year, allowing you to give more weight to either the statistics or the business component.

What this course will give you

The department offers a friendly and supportive atmosphere, where small-group teaching and personal attention are available for all students.

Teaching is enhanced by the varied research interests of our academic staff; from the foundations of the subject to applications of statistics in science, medicine, industry, economics and finance.

Ranked 6th in the UK by the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2023 for Statistics and Operational Research, we offer you an excellent education with high standards of teaching.

Our graduates are highly sought after in areas such as finance, commerce, industry, research, education and government, while many go on to successfully complete a Master’s or PhD programme.

This programme, run jointly with the UCL School of Management, combines a thorough training in statistics with modules in the broad area of business studies. It aims to provide a combination of management and quantitative skills useful for a career in business, management, commerce or industry.
