BSc Mathematics and Statistics

This very flexible single honours degree programme is particularly for you if you expect to use statistics in your future professional work. You will develop the capacity to formulate and analyse problems and to interpret scientific evidence using appropriate statistical methodology. A core of basic mathematics, probability and statistics  provides you with the fundamental knowledge and skills, and the basis for more advanced work later on. Core material is covered in the first year, developing the capacity to learn and apply mathematical and statistical ideas.  In the second year, besides probability and statistics, you can choose to take on courses from pure or applied mathematics, along with other optional units such as Programming with R.  You will understand the significance and power of mathematics, and to acquire a thorough knowledge and understanding of those  topics that any employer would expect of a Mathematics and Statistics graduate.
