BSc Mathematics and Statistical Science
About this course
BSc in Mathematics and Statistical Science, a mathematics and mathematics and statistics degree focused on analytical techniques and quantitative methods. Core topics include Programming, Statistics, and Mathematical Modelling. This three-year undergraduate programme holds accreditation from the Royal Statistical Society. The first year establishes core foundations through compulsory study of Algebra 1, Advanced Calculus, and Introduction to Probability and Statistics. The second year expands technical proficiency with compulsory modules such as Probability and Inference, Regression Modelling, and Introduction to Stochastic Processes, alongside optional choices like Analysis 4: Metric Spaces and Decision and Risk. The final year centres on compulsory Statistical Inference supplemented by diverse optional units including Measure Theory, Graph Theory and Combinatorics, and Mathematical Ecology.
