Course summary

You’re right at the start of your exciting journey and we’re here to build your mathematics, computing and programming science skills. These will provide you with the foundations to excel when you move onto BSc (Hons) Mathematics with Data Science in your second year.

Welcome to the world where mathematics meets the cutting-edge of data science and computer programming. This course gives you the essential knowledge and skills demanded by today's rapidly evolving industries. You’ll be learning from an award-winning teaching team dedicated to your success, consistently winning teaching awards.

As you progress, you'll have the flexibility to specialise with a range of optional modules and a final-year project in a subject of your choice. Our technology focused teaching gives you the power to visualise and interrogate data in different ways through using graphics tablets, virtual reality, and 3D printing.

To address the shortages in the field of data science, as outlined by industry and the Government, this course gives you skills which are in high demand. With a solid mathematical foundation, you not only learn the tools and techniques needed, but also understand their application, setting you apart in the competitive job market. Focusing on real-world applications of mathematics and data science will sharpen your analytical, investigative and problem-solving skills.

Research scholarships
Every year we offer a small number of Mathematics Undergraduate Research Scholarships (MURS), giving successful applicants funding for a six-to-eight-week placement in one of our research teams. This is an excellent opportunity for you to further your research interests and contribute to the academic activities of the mathematics department.

More student opportunities
Our active student-run Mathematics society allows you to be part of a vibrant community with peer support, team learning, and mentorship. You’ll also have the opportunity to participate in regular events hosted on campus by the local branch of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications.
