About this course
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
**Research scholarships**
Every year we offer a small number of Mathematics Undergraduate Research Scholarships (MURS), giving successful applicants funding for a six-to-eight-week placement in one of our research teams. This is an excellent opportunity for you to further your research interests and contribute to the academic activities of the mathematics department.

Top job areas of graduates
Want to feel needed? This is one of the most flexible degrees of all and with so much of modern work being based on data, there are options everywhere for maths graduates. With all that training in handling figures, it's hardly surprising that a lot of maths graduates go into well-paid jobs in the IT or finance industries, and last year, a maths graduate in London could expect a very respectable average starting salary of £27k. And we're always short of teachers in maths, so that is an excellent option for anyone wanting to help the next generation. And if you want a research job, you'll want a doctorate — and a really good maths doctorate will get you all sorts of interest from academia and finance — and might secure some of the highest salaries going for new leavers from university.

Top job areas of graduates
The business and research sectors worry that the UK hasn't got enough people with good statistics skills, and as stats are at the heart of so much of the economy, and we only have a few hundred graduates a year in the discipline, this type of degree can be very useful and versatile. The finance industry is very popular with this group, and they're far more likely to be working in London than most other graduates. And who can blame them — statistics graduates starting work in London were earning an average of nearly £29k just six months after leaving university. There is also demand from the Scottish finance sector in Edinburgh and Glasgow - particularly in banking and insurance. But a good statistician can find work almost anywhere that data can be analysed - which, in an online world, is almost anywhere - and many industries struggle to find enough statisticians to fulfil demand, so stay flexible and you can find a variety of options.
What about your long term prospects?
Looking further ahead, below is a rough guide for what graduates went on to earn.

The Longitudinal Educational Outcomes dataset combines HRMC earnings data with student records from the Higher Education Statistics Agency.
While there are lots of factors at play when it comes to your future earnings, use this as a rough timeline of what graduates in this subject area were earning on average one, three and five years later. Can you see a steady increase in salary, or did grads need some experience under their belt before seeing a nice bump up in their pay packet?
