Mathematics, Statistics and Data Science BSc (Hons) – 3 years

This course is for you if you have an analytical mind, enjoy visualising and interpreting data and thrive on a challenge. You'll learn how to use your mathematical skills to formulate problems and discover patterns, and apply these techniques to analyse data from many different sectors. Computing is an essential tool in data science and you'll develop strong programming skills with the ability to implement mathematical algorithms on large data sets. You’ll learn how data science is used in a wide range of industries and gain an understanding of machine learning and artificial intelligence at the cutting-edge of data science. All of our courses are flexible and allow for a wide choice of units after year one. You may switch between Mathematics and Mathematics and Statistics at any stage during year one, while switches to or from Mathematics, Statistics and Data Science can be done at the end of year one if you obtain a sufficiently high mark. As a mathematics student here, you’ll have access to a wide range of support options, including tutorials, a personal tutor and the Mathematics Resources Centre (MASH) to assist with revision and coursework if you need it. Our academics carry out their own high-level research alongside teaching, so the latest developments always inform modules. Some units give you the opportunity to work alongside our academics and contribute to research in the Department. As well as developing your specific knowledge and skills base, your course will provide thorough training in transferable skills including reasoning, analytical thinking, problem-solving, research, teamwork, time management and planning.
