Mathematics

The field of modern statistics involves much more than just collecting, organising and presenting numbers. It is the source of methods and techniques which aid research and business to make reliable conclusions from observations that contain variation. This course explores the essential cores of mathematics alongside a more in-depth understanding of modern statistics, as you build an understanding of the application of mathematics and data analysis. Applying maths and statistical methods to commercial problems develops a rational approach to problem-solving. You will build an understanding of the applications of mathematics, statistics and data analysis with a particular focus on the emerging field of data science. You will use software packages to develop your understanding of the subject and to help you solve problems.

The facets and rigour developed will not only enable you to become a specialist in the fields of mathematics and statistics, but also allow you the insight and techniques to open a wide range of situations and areas outside of mathematics. You will build an understanding of the applications of mathematics, statistics and data analysis with a particular focus on the emerging field of data science. You will also have the opportunity to use current software packages to develop your understanding of the subject. This course has been accredited by the Institute of Mathematics and its applications, which means that all graduates meet the educational requirements to become chartered mathematicians.

Modules

This programme has a mixture of Mathematics with statistics modules.

It has been specifically designed in order you to progressively develop and hone your general mathematical skills, as well as creating a deep understanding of the theory and application of statistics.

You will study and consider a multitude of mathematic concepts, theories, and practicalities across you three years, culminating in a final project at the end of your final year.

In addition, you will have the opportunity to use the latest software packages to develop your understanding of the subject and develop how to solve problems through the application of mathematical and statistical methods that are used in modern society.

Assessment methods

The assessments for the programme include examinations, task sheets, and computer-based test,

There are high levels of individual support throughout to ensure that you feel confident to take each step in your journey towards your degree.

Over 2,000 students graduated with a degree in finance in 2015, and a sign of the strength of the finance industry, numbers are on the up. Over half of finance graduates go into the finance industry, with accountancy and financial advice roles particularly popular. It's also quite common for finance graduates to go into jobs which require you to take more training and gain professional qualifications — finance graduates who take further study are more likely to be studying accountancy than finance. About a third of graduates start their careers in London - but Glasgow, Manchester and Birmingham are other popular locations for finance graduates to work.

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?
