You’ll cover the same essential topics as other maths students, but we make sure you get training in a range of statistical techniques. You’ll use the tools and software professional statisticians use. We have a small but focused number of modules in the first year, that cover all the essentials you’ll need for the rest of your degree. You will start to develop programming skills using Python and R, which can be applied to lots of jobs that involve data. You’ll learn to use the typesetting software LaTeX, which mathematicians and statisticians use to present their work.
