Mathematics and Statistics
Data, information and knowledge
Mathematics and Statistics BSc (3 year) and MMathStat (4 year) are single honours courses designed for mathematically able students who have an interest in solving mathematical problems involving risk and uncertainty inspired by modern sciences, technology, survey sampling, business, medicine, industry, government and many more areas.
The well-established Mathematics and Statistics courses provide a thorough grounding in both theoretical and practical aspects of modern statistics leading to an extremely wide variety of careers.
Excellent employment opportunities include many areas of commerce and industry, accountancy and finance, risk management, science and social science research, computing and information technology, sports and computer game design, management consultancy, government, health services, pharmaceutical industry and clinical trials.
Rigorous training in maths and stats
These degrees draw on the full expertise of the highly-rated Mathematics and Statistics Departments at Warwick.
Compulsory modules in year 1 introduce the mathematical ideas underlying statistics. There is a wide range of additional options from mathematics and beyond.
In year 2 the statistics and mathematics are developed further, and again there are many optional modules.
The final year of MathStat BSc has no compulsory modules, but students must study a minimum number of modules in both mathematics and statistics.
The third year of MMathStat includes compulsory modules on advanced probability and statistical modelling, and many optional modules. The fourth (final) year of MMathStat offers many modules mathematics, statistics, and beyond, and you also choose a Master's-level dissertation topic from some area of statistics or probability.

Statistics also runs degrees in MORSE (Maths, Operational Research, Stats and Economics) and Data Science (a blend of Maths, Stats and Computer Science).
MathStat BSc
MathStat BSc and MMathStat are nearly the same during the first two years making it easy to reconsider your preference during your first two years at university.
Course structure (3 year degree)
Mathematics (MA), Statistics (ST), Optional (Opt). Additional optional modules may be taken each year.
Course structure (4 year degree)
Mathematics (MA), Statistics (ST), Optional (Opt). Additional optional modules may be taken each year.
MMathStat
Transfer onto the four year degree is possible up until the beginning of year 3, dependent on performance in years 1 and 2. Students often choose this degree to deepen their knowledge in their chosen specialism, and to gain experience of a dissertation supervised by an academic.
