Introduction
Gain extensive knowledge of probability and statistics. Combine this with pure mathematics or applied mathematics. This degree will equip you with problem-solving and decision-making tools. You’ll experience using statistical software and practise conducting and communicating statistical investigations. You’ll develop your understanding of time series analysis, multivariate data analysis, regression analysis, and hypothesis testing. You’ll also explore classical and Bayesian statistics.
Key features of the course
Build expertise in analytical approaches, classical and Bayesian statistics, and the underpinning mathematical theory.
Focus on either pure or applied mathematics to fit your needs and interests.
Practise conducting and communicating statistical investigations and using professional software.
Start at a point that suits your level of mathematical knowledge.
Move to a different mathematics degree, if your aspirations change, even after you’ve started.

printed material
online material, including websites, audio/video media clips, and interactive activities
using mathematical and scientific expressions, notations and associated techniques
using and producing diagrams and screenshots
small amounts of practical work and other activities, such as group work with other students on some modules, writing short reports or preparing presentations
using specialist software
face-to-face tutorials/day schools and/or online tutorials
continuous and end-of-module assessment in the form of short and long answer questions, and in most cases an examination
