This flagship four-year Mathematics with Statistics programme, broadly equivalent to an MSc, is designed to prepare you for the most demanding postgraduate work: PhD programmes or employment requiring advanced mathematics. It is an extension of our three-year BSc Mathematics and Statistics degree, incorporating a huge range of classical and contemporary topics. The first year covers essential fundamentals, while in the second and third years you will be able to choose from the exceptionally wide range of modules that reflect our research strengths. The fourth year consists of advanced modules from our MSc Mathematics programme and a major project.
You will have the opportunity to specialise in statistics, building statistical theory and methodology on mathematical foundations, especially probability theory. Probabilistic modelling has applications in genetics, quantum physics and risk analysis, and is increasingly used in the financial sector. You can study applications of probability and statistics, notably design of experiments, financial time series and actuarial mathematics.This programme is accredited by the Royal Statistical Society (RSS) and final-year students are eligible for free membership of the RSS. In addition, graduates who achieve a first- or second-class degree are entitled to Graduate Statistician status. |
