All our degrees focus on three core areas Ð pure mathematics, applied mathematics, and statistics Ð and you have the flexibility to tailor the combination of these to suit your interests.
On this degree, you will select modules evenly across both mathematics and statistics. These include:
- complex variable
- statistical inference
- foundations of probability
You can also choose optional modules linked to the research expertise of our staff and learn about the latest developments in the discipline, such as advanced hydrodynamics, quantum mechanics, and time series and forecasting.
