Course summary
This flexible single-honours undergraduate Master's degree programme is for you if you expect to use statistics in your professional work. You will develop the capacity to formulate and analyse problems and to interpret scientific evidence using appropriate statistical methodology. You get good all-round mathematical knowledge together with the ability to experience more specialised results, methods and ideas; your education in these specialised areas is in sufficient depth to enable you to undertake postgraduate studies, conduct research or work as a specialist mathematician. 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. After your first two years, you choose your lecture courses from a widening range of options in order that you can pursue whichever areas of mathematics most interest you. You also undertake a substantial final year project in probability and statistics.
