Mathematics and Statistics with Data Science with a Placement Year BSc (Hons)

Join our BSc Mathematics and Statistics with Data Science with Placement Year degree and develop the skills youll need to become a quantitative scientist.<br/><br/>This four-year course includes modules in all three subject areas – mathematics, statistics, and data science – so you will be able to work confidently in the three disciplines and bridge the gaps between them.<br/><br/>Vast amounts of data are collected about almost every aspect of the world. Data science and machine learning are now part of our everyday lives; they are applied to process and interpret this data, perform in-depth analyses to extract valuable information, and build artificial intelligence (AI) models.<br/><br/>Expertise in data science, statistics and mathematics are thus becoming increasingly important in a wide range of areas including finance and business, climate science, medicine and the civil service.<br/><br/>This course, taught by the University of Reading’s Department of Mathematics and Statistics, has been designed to develop your expertise in mathematics and statistics theory. You’ll also build your knowledge of applying statistics and data science methods to real-world problems and increasingly complex data.<br/><br/>98% of our research is world-leading or internationally excellent, and 100% of our research impact has been classed as outstanding or very considerable (REF 2021, combining 4-star and 3-star submissions – Mathematical Sciences).<br/><br/>For more information, please visit the programme page: https://www.reading.ac.uk/ready-to-study/study/subject-area/mathematics-ug/bsc-mathematics-and-statistics-with-data-science-with-placement-year
