Mathematics with Statistics (with foundation year) FT

Think of your foundation year as a springboard – developing your base mathematical and science skills before leaping into BSc (Hons) Mathematics with Statistics, ready to face the challenge.

We focus on the practical application of mathematics and you’ll learn by taking part in many projects individually and in a group. This develops your problem-solving and creative thinking skills and helps to build other transferable skills, such as team-working.

The flexibility means we can support you if you want to move on to one of our other mathematics courses in your second year.

Our Mathematics degrees are current and relevant to the needs of the business. Our close links with the industry mean that, if you wish, you’ll have the opportunity to take up job placements with some of the world’s leading companies.

In today’s information age, a massive amount of information is gathered daily. In this course, we’ll teach you how to interpret patterns in data using statistics to make the correct decisions or predictions about the future. Demand is high for talented statisticians in private and public sectors, such as market research, the NHS, environmental science, forensic science and government statistics.

This course aims to equip you with advanced mathematical ideas and computational techniques to succeed in this area. You'll be hands-on throughout your course and make considerable use of our specialist facilities that include mathematical and statistical software and virtual reality and 3D printing technology. These will help give you the knowledge and skills employers demand.

After your foundation year, you’ll explore various mathematical techniques and applications. Then, in your final year, you’ll get to choose several specialist modules depending on your personal preferences and career aspirations.
