Mathematics and Statistics

Description

You will study a blend of mathematics and data analysis modules and tackle a huge variety of interesting and engaging problems from business forecasting and simulation to medical statistics and survival analysis. These problem-solving approaches will help you to develop key graduate skills such as analytical and communication abilities.
If you choose this course you will benefit from:

• A course which will meet the educational requirements of the Chartered Mathematician designation, awarded by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA), when it is followed by subsequent training and experience in employment to obtain equivalent competencies to those specified by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) for taught master degrees;
• Employer links with companies such as GlaxoSmithKline, CACI, Unipart and National Grid;
• One-to-one support from the Mathematics Support Centre, organised by sigma, the University’s internationally renowned Centre for Excellence in mathematics and statistics support;
• Placement opportunities with companies that have previously included: the National Grid, Mercedes-Benz and Morgan Stanley financial services;
• Staff who teach on the course are part of research groups in Applied Mathematics and Control Theory, both of whom carry out research classified as internationally excellent by the 2008 RAE;
• The opportunity to study abroad as part of the Erasmus scheme.

Course Content

The first year lays the mathematical foundations and academic skills on which the rest of the course builds. You will also be able to change your mind about the direction you want to go by transferring between mathematics courses at the end of the first year, subject to satisfactory performance.

During the second year you will strengthen your knowledge of the common mathematical methods, broadening the statistical elements and have the opportunity to choose another module. Your study will have a strong practical emphasis in modern data analysis.

In the final year you will contine your study of the above themes and also engage in a final year project carrying out in-depth statistical investigations in a field that interests you, under the weekly supervision of one of the department’s statisticians.

Your timetable will be based on lectures, computer laboratory sessions and examples classes. We schedule weekly sessions where your module lecturers are available to provide support, and on top of group work sessions you will have regular personal tutorials. The Mathematics Support Centre is open seven days a week to provide you with one-to-one support. The centre also has specialist staff to provide extra support for dyslexic students.

You will work with staff on real-world problems from industry, commerce and research groups, as you would in professional practice; this means that you develop all of the professional skills at the same time as you learn the technical content of your degree.
