Undergraduate programme in Mathematics with Statistics
This programme is administered entirely within the Department of Mathematical Sciences, and includes modules in both mathematics and statistics. The statistics element is approximately a third of the programme. There are two paths in this program: path A focuses on applied statistics and path B focuses on stochastic analysis.
In the first year of this programme, students in both paths will take the same modules as those studying the single Mathematics programme. These include core modules such as Calculus and Linear Algebra, as well as Introductory Probability & Statistics, Introduction to Applied Mathematics, and Computer Applications in Mathematics.
In the second and final years there are several compulsory modules in statistics, depending on the choice of path. In mathematics, there are a few compulsory modules in the second year, together with a wide range of optional modules in the second and final years. In the final year, students will undertake a project which will allow them to either explore more advanced topics in statistical theory or to investigate a research question using statistical methods. There is considerable freedom for students to tailor the programme to their own interests.
Careers open to graduates from the programme range across many areas of commerce, industry and education. The course could also be a stepping stone on the route to further study in statistics, perhaps especially in medical statistics.
A personal tutor is assigned to each student to provide help and guidance throughout their entire studies.
