Mathematics and statistics

The world of work is increasingly reliant on science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) skills and this mathematics and statistics degree is a trusted and relevant qualification designed to meet employers’ needs for skilled STEM graduates.

On the course, you will learn to use a range of computing and analytical skills to solve scientific, engineering and finance problems.

Your studies will combine fundamental mathematical and statistical methods with highly sought-after skills in logic, problem-solving, numeracy and more.

Once you graduate, you could go on to succeed in a range of mathematics jobs and statistics jobs and work in organisations that deal with:

• fiscal analysis and prediction
• meteorology
• environmental science
• engineering
• pharmaceuticals
• research
• market analysis
• risk assessment
• financial modelling
• stock-market trading
• education at all levels (with additional qualifications).

Mathematics graduates with higher degrees in computer science will be able to work with organisations that require advanced modelling skills.

You may also want to progress your studies to explore a related field or specialise in a postgraduate course.

The minimum requirement is an Honours degree (2:2 or above) from a UK University or equivalent in mathematics or statistics or any other relevant STEM subject with substantial mathematical content.

It is not anticipated that any special prerequisites are required for the proposed modules, beyond the standard basic curricula for the degrees specified above.
