Mathematics with Statistics

About this programme

Use your passion for maths and analytical abilities to turn data into smarter, faster decisions. Our foundation course in Engineering and Technology with Foundation Year is designed to develop the vital underpinning skills in maths, science and technology needed for studying at degree level. From this course you can progress onto a variety of degrees including computing, engineering, mathematic and physics. Mathematics and statistics underpin the processes and exposure to risk that keep society functioning. Clinical trials analysing life-threatening illnesses, supermarkets managing their product buying and distribution, and insurance companies assessing their exposure to risks all use sophisticated statistical models. You'll build the analytical abilities you need to make sense of the vast amount of data available to organisations so they can make faster, smarter decisions. You'll discover how to apply mathematical models to the study of biology and infectious diseases, and model operational research solutions to areas such as planning, scheduling, forecasting and supply chain management. At the end of the course, you'll have taken the first steps towards becoming a Chartered Mathematician, and be set for a career in industries such as government research, finance, healthcare and marketing.
