About this course
**Overview**
If you’re fascinated by the complexity of mathematics and you enjoy statistics, our BSc Mathematics and Statistics degree will equip you with a broad range of skills in both disciplines. The study of data analytics is a vital skill that employers seek, and as such it’s embedded within this degree, along with elements of financial statistics, and modelling. Our graduates find themselves with many exciting career options across a broad range of fields including science, technology, and finance.
This degree combines a strong mathematical foundation, with advanced study in both mathematics and statistics. You’ll study a common core of modules in pure mathematics, applied mathematics and statistics, and you’ll also have the choice to tailor your degree by choosing topics from a wide range of optional modules.
Our lecturers are highly enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Most are also active researchers who conduct world-leading work which is incorporated into their teaching. You’ll benefit from a high academic-staff-to-student ratio, ensuring that you graduate with a deep understanding of the subjects you’re learning.
Since the first year of this programme is common to the other Mathematics degrees we offer, it’s possible to transfer between courses at the end of your first year. We’ll help you discuss your options to ensure that you’re on the right programme to suit your interests and career aspirations.

What are graduates doing after six months?
This is what graduates told us they were doing (and earning), shortly after completing their course. We've crunched the numbers to show you if these immediate prospects are high, medium or low, compared to those studying this subject/s at other universities.
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?

Post-six month graduation stats:
This is from the Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education Survey, based on responses from graduates who studied the same subject area here.
It offers a snapshot of what grads went on to do six months later, what they were earning on average, and whether they felt their degree helped them obtain a 'graduate role'. We calculate a mean rating to indicate if this is high, medium or low compared to other universities.

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?
