Statistics, BSc (Hons)

Statisticians are essential across sectors such as global business, data analysis, artificial intelligence, and healthcare modeling. This degree equips students with key concepts and techniques for statistical modeling, offering hands-on experience in data analysis and computer labs. You'll explore uncertainty, random variables, and probability theory while developing analytical and problem-solving skills. Expert lecturers guide the curriculum, which includes opportunities to study interdisciplinary topics like languages.Core modules in the first year build a foundation in mathematics, probability, and statistics, delivered through lectures, tutorials, and workshops. In subsequent years, you'll deepen your knowledge with advanced topics like real analysis and differential equations, alongside optional modules. A group project in the third year enhances communication and technical reporting skills. The program is accredited by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, with options for study abroad or work placements to strengthen your career prospects.

Core modules in your first year provide a solid foundation in the main mathematical topics. You'll also focus on probability and statistics. Key concepts in applied maths, calculus and linear mathematics will be introduced. Learning will be through lectures, problem classes, tutorials and computer workshops. In year two, core modules will enable you to study statistics and probability in more depth. You'll also broaden your knowledge through optional modules in topics such as real and complex analysis and modelling with differential equations. A mathematics group project in your third year will teach you valuable skills for your future employment. Through workshops and student-led group sessions, you'll improve your communication skills and learn to write up and report on your work in a technical and meaningful way. The final year gives you the opportunity to choose from a wide range of optional modules too.
