    • the opportunity to apply for work experience placements with companies such as: National Grid, Morgan Stanley, Cummins and E.ON;
    • the opportunity to apply for a study / placement year abroad in Europe as a part of the Erasmus scheme or the USA.
    WHAT WILL I LEARN?

    The first year lays the mathematical and computational foundations on which the rest of the course builds.

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

    In the third year, you will continue your study of the above themes and you may engage in a final year dissertation project with the support of a dedicated supervisor.

    Students who progress to MSci in the fourth year of the course will learn how to apply mathematical techniques and computational algorithms to real world problems and how to interpret and analyse big data.

    HOW WILL THIS COURSE BE TAUGHT?

    Your timetable with is based on lectures, computer laboratory sessions and example classes. We schedule weekly sessions where your module lecturers are available to provide support and in addition to group work sessions, you will also have regular 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 allows you to develop professional skills whilst learning the technical content of your degree.

    HOW WILL I BE ASSESSED?
