Why is this course for me?
If you are interested in studying Statistics with an Arts and Humanities or Social Science subject, then this degree could be for you.
Wherever data are collected, statistical and data analysis skills are required. Statisticians develop mathematical models for uncertainty and apply them to real data. Statistical models allow us to learn about the underlying processes which give rise to the data. The power of modern computing continues to have a major impact on both the development and applicability of statistical methods in almost every area of social science, science and business.
Career & Graduate Study Opportunities
More and more employers are seeking to hire statisticians, as they play a key role in virtually all areas of society and science, including:
Industries such as finance, government, economic analysis, marketing, education, health, medicine, environmental science
Societal research which contributes to understanding economic and social change, informing public policymaking
Development of new drugs in the pharmaceutical industry
Graduates may also pursue further study, including the MA in Statistics, HDip in Mathematical Science (qualifier for the MSc in Mathematical Science) and GradDip in Actuarial Science.
What Will I Study
In first year, you will gain a broad overview of the basic principles of statistical modelling and reasoning, while second and third years enhance this knowledge with a mixture of theoretical and applied modules to give you a well-rounded learning experience in statistics.
