Mathematics with Data Science BSc (Hons)

The BSc in Mathematics with Data Science provides a programme of study that is suitable for students of high ability, combining and relating mathematics and the theoretical foundations of data science, where we interpret ‘data science’ as a broad label, including topics such as machine learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI).<br/><br/>The approach in the degree is characterised by mathematical rigour, combined with applications relevant for providing the tools to analyse and develop new techniques in data science and machine learning. The degree prepares students for further study or for professional and managerial careers, particularly in areas requiring the application of quantitative skills.<br/><br/>The BSc Mathematics with Data Science programme has mathematics as its major subject and data science as its minor subject, and study of mathematics will make up approximately 75 per cent of the degree.<br/><br/>The Department of Mathematics is committed to excellence in teaching and research in mathematics related to the social sciences. This particular programme enables you to build a strong quantitative knowledge base and also obtain data analysis skills.
