Mathematics with Statistics

Course detail Description

Our course will develop your understanding and appreciation of the important role of the analysis, use, and representation of data in society. It will enable you to combine the conceptual and analytical skills that you will develop through the study of mathematics with the modelling and data analysis skills that you will acquire through the study of statistics. In doing so you will build a unique set of tools for the analysis of real world situations and solving problems.

You will acquire an understanding of the professional and ethical responsibilities of statisticians, and of the impact and role of data analysis and representations in a wide and varied range of contexts, particularly in the public domain. Our teaching will encourage you to pursue continual professional development in your working life.

You are expected to spend approximately 10 hours work per credit for each module you attend in your degree, e.g. 150 hours work for a 15 credit module. These hours cover every aspect of the module: lectures, tutorials, independent study, coursework and preparation for examinations.

The primary method of assessment for this degree is written examination. You may also be assessed by essays, practical examination, oral presentation, reports, class tests and projects. The nature of assessment varies by module.
