Mathematics and Statistics, BSc (Hons)

Mathematics at university encourages you to think in an entirely different way. You will develop a rigorous mindset and be introduced to new mathematical concepts not explored at school level.This programme provides a broad understanding of mathematics before specialising in statistics.This new way of approaching and analysing complex problems is a particularly valuable skill, applicable to many exciting career paths. A knowledge of statistics is valued by employers, so this programme gives you an excellent range of career options. Outside subjects In addition to your Year 1 and 2 mathematics courses, you will study courses in other subjects. These may be in related areas such as physics or informatics, or from the wide and varied range offered across the University, such as philosophy or languages.You will take courses in statistics from Year 2 onwards. From Year 3 onwards, you will study only your degree subject. Second year entry Well-prepared applicants can enter this programme in Year 2 and follow an accelerated programme. On this route, you will focus on mathematics from the beginning, rather than study a range of subjects in Year 1 and Year 2.On the accelerated programme, we support your Year 2 mathematics courses with extra courses covering the key ideas in algebra, calculus and proofs from Year 1 of the programme.
