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

Enrol in the University of Reading’s BSc Mathematics and Statistics with Data Science with Placement Year programme to acquire essential skills for a career as a quantitative scientist. This four-year degree covers mathematics, statistics, and data science, enabling students to master these disciplines and integrate them effectively. In an era where vast data is generated across sectors, data science and machine learning are vital for analysing information, extracting insights, and developing AI models. Expertise in these areas is increasingly crucial for fields such as finance, business, climate science, medicine, and public service.Delivered by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, the course builds theoretical knowledge in mathematics and statistics while applying these to real-world problems and complex data sets. Core modules include Real Analysis 1, Calculus, Foundations of Mathematics, Linear Algebra, and Mathematical Communication. Note that modules are subject to final approval for 2025/26, with further details available in summer 2024. The programme boasts outstanding research, with 98% rated world-leading or internationally excellent (REF 2021). Visit the programme page for more information.
