Mathematics and Statistics, BSc (Hons), with industry placement

Mathematics and statistics form the foundation of modern advancements in science, medicine, technology, and business, enabling a deep understanding of patterns and changes across various fields, from human behavior to financial markets. A placement year allows students to apply knowledge gained in the first two years, enhancing employability through practical experience. In the first year, foundational topics like calculus, probability, and proofs are covered, building technical, analytical, and problem-solving skills. The second year advances these areas with modules in algebra, statistics, and computational mathematics, including project work and tools like R and LaTeX.The third year involves a 12-month placement, supported by career guidance on CVs, interviews, and professional development, to apply prior learning and gain graduate-level skills. If a placement isn't secured, students can transition to a non-placement program. In the final year, specialized modules such as Combinatorics and Stochastic Processes allow customization based on interests, culminating in reflections on placement experiences to shape future career paths.
