The focus of the course is the application of mathematical and statistical understanding to a range of real world problems such problems are rarely presented in a neat mathematical form, and on course you will learn the techniques needed to describe and solve such problems. You could be modelling the spread of infectious diseases, simulating the flow of traffic or people, predicting the future behaviour of stock markets, protecting your digital data using cryptography, or working directly with companies to analyse their data. You will have the opportunity to undertake a placement in your third year. There is a dedicated team that will support you in applying for positions. This is an excellent opportunity to gain valuable experience in the workplace and to develop the mathematical, statistical and graduate skills that you have acquired in your studies.

During your placement year you will pay a reduced fee of £1,200.
