The MMath Maths and Statistics degree is our flagship course for those planning to become professional statisticians or data analysts.
The course includes statistics, probability, core mathematics, pure mathematics and applied mathematics, with an emphasis on statistics and probability as you progress.
Your placement year, which you'll complete between the third and final year, is a great way to get experience of real-world mathematics or statistics and improve your CV.
A major component of the final year of the MMath course is a research project, which provides an opportunity for independent study, guided by a member of academic staff in their area of expertise.
You'll have the chance to study scientific programming and simulation, practical and applied statistics, and may have the option to switch between our degrees.
