Chat to a maths student

Gain specialist knowledge in pure and applied mathematics with a particular focus on statistics.

Mathematics enables us to reason logically, to understand structure and formulate scientific principles. Statistics is the collection, analysis and interpretation of data central to everything from scientific progress to medical research and the work of government.

This course is for you if you would like to study statistics and have a significant interest in mathematics. You’ll be trained how to analyse problems and interpret patterns in data to make careful predictions about the future.

Unit options

At the start of the course, you’ll gain a broad education covering pure and applied mathematics, including programming and statistics. You’ll specialise later in the course with an emphasis on statistics and probability.

All of our courses are flexible and allow for a wide choice of units after year one. You may switch between Mathematics and Mathematics and Statistics at any stage during year one, while switches to or from Mathematics, Statistics and Data Science can be done at the end of year one if you obtain a sufficiently high mark.

Supporting your studies

As a mathematics student here, you’ll have access to a wide range of support options, including tutorials, an academic advisor and the Mathematics Resources Centre (MASH) to assist with revision and coursework if you need it.

Put your learning into practice

Our academics carry out their own high-level research alongside teaching, so the latest developments always inform modules. Some units give you the opportunity to work alongside our academics and contribute to research in the Department.

Develop your professional skills

As well as developing your specific knowledge and skills base, your course will provide thorough training in transferable skills including reasoning, analytical thinking, problem-solving, research, teamwork, time management and planning. You'll also gain technical skills such as writing efficient computer programs and data analysis.

Specialist facilities

Students are supported by the Maths and Statistics Help (MASH) centre, which aids learning course content and supports the development of effective mathematics study skills. You may choose a final-year module with the opportunity to use our High-Performance Computing (HPC) facility.

Get ready for your future career

With a mix of technical and problem-solving skills, mathematicians are highly sought after in a wide variety of roles. For example, you could go on to work in the finance sector as an accountant, actuary or analyst, as a statistician in government or a teaching role. You could also go on to work as a data scientist or software developer in commerce or the technology sector.

Recent employers for our students include:

  • British Airways
  • Lloyds Banking Group
  • KPMG
  • Admiral
  • QinetiQ

Learning and assessment

You’ll be taught and assessed by a variety of methods and it will vary between units. These methods are designed to promote in-depth learning and understanding of the subject.

Learning

  • Laboratory sessions
  • Lectures
  • Tutorials
  • Workshops

Assessment

  • Closed book written examination
  • Coursework

These lists are to give you an idea of some, but not all, of the learning and assessment methods used on this course. They are not exhaustive lists and methods are subject to change.

Learning and teaching

Contact hours

Timetabled contact hours, which may be made up of lectures, seminars, tutorials and laboratory classes, vary throughout your course and between courses but are typically between 15 and 20 hours a week in your first year.

Our teaching for this course is delivered through in-person learning on campus, supported by high quality online provision. The significant majority of contact hours over the duration of your course will be in person, and this will be enhanced by some online delivery which will constitute a smaller proportion of these contact hours, depending on your programme of study, year of study and chosen optional units. This may be supplemented by additional activities such as a small number of online learning sessions (not live), skills development sessions, and personal tutorials.

The number of timetabled sessions on campus in later years may vary based on the options you choose, with a greater emphasis on independent learning. Project and dissertation units will generally have fewer scheduled sessions to allow you time for your independent work – this may also mean the number of hours of timetabled sessions each week will vary within a year.

Independent learning

In addition to timetabled contact hours, you are expected to undertake independent learning and assessment activities. Typically, this might be around 15 – 20 hours per week in your first year, and include individual research, reading journal articles and books, working on individual and group projects, preparing course working assignments, presentations, or revising for exams. After your first year, the emphasis on independent learning becomes greater, for example in a final year project.

Assessment breakdown

You will be assessed by a range of methods designed to develop and test your skills and knowledge. These include closed-book examinations and coursework. The precise balance of assessment methods varies throughout your degree and depends on your choice of units – from 100% coursework assessment (e.g. for Applied Data Science) to 100% exam (for many units in pure mathematics).

You will primarily be assessed as an individual but in some units, may also be assessed as part of a group.

We can make reasonable adjustments to assessment procedures for students with disabilities, take a look at our Disability Service’s pages for information.

Recognition of professional qualifications

As well as being recognised as a higher academic qualification, a number of our degrees are also accredited by professional bodies in the United Kingdom. An accredited degree may entitle you to work in a specific profession within the UK, and abroad (where there are reciprocating arrangements with professional bodies in other countries).

The requirements to practise a profession vary from country to country. If you wish to practise your profession outside the United Kingdom, you are advised to confirm that the UK professional qualification you seek is valid in the country in which you are intending to work.
