Mathematics with Statistics SW BSc (Hons)

It’s all about applying your learning. Starting with algebra, calculus and statistics - the foundations of mathematics – before moving on to advanced topics like statistical modelling and computational statistics.<br/><br/>Supported by our expert staff, you’ll get lots of chances to bring into play the mathematical skills you’ve explored and apply them through statistics. You’ll discover how these have unlocked some ground-breaking mathematics discoveries.<br/><br/>In today’s information age, a massive amount of information is gathered daily. That’s why statistical skills are highly valued in the workplace so we’ll help you develop yours. You’ll be hands-on throughout your course and regularly use our specialist equipment – including mathematical and statistical software, virtual reality and 3D printing technology. Thanks to these practical experiences, you’ll be confident and work-ready when you graduate.<br/><br/>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. Demand is high for talented statisticians in private and public sectors, such as market research, the NHS, environmental science, forensic science and government statistics.<br/><br/>This course aims to equip you with advanced mathematical ideas and computational techniques to succeed in this area. Youll be hands-on throughout your course and use our specialist facilities, which include mathematical and statistical software, virtual reality, and 3D printing technology. These will help give you the knowledge and skills employers demand.<br/><br/>In Years One and Two, 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.<br/><br/>Our Mathematics degrees are current and relevant to the needs of the business.
