Course overview

The demand for mathematical statisticians has expanded so rapidly in recent years that both within and outside the academic world there is a severe shortage of well-qualified people.

These degrees enable you to specialise in both pure mathematics and statistics. They offer flexibility and a wide choice of options in Computing, Operational Research and all the other topics available to Mathematics students.

Actuarial Exemptions

Information about possible exemptions for professional actuarial examinations for students on this course can be found in the Departmental webpageLink opens in a new windowLink opens in a new window.

Important information

We are planning to make some exciting changes to our Mathematics and Statistics (BSc) degree for 2026 entry. We continually review our curricula to reflect developments in the relevant disciplines to deliver the best educational experience. The core and optional modules will undergo approval through the University's rigorous academic processes. As modules are approved, we will update the course information on this webpage. It is therefore very important that you check this webpage for the latest information before you apply and prior to accepting an offer. Sign up to receive updates.


Study abroad

We support student mobility through study abroad programmes and all students have the opportunity to apply for an intercalated year abroad at one of our partner universities.

The Study Abroad TeamLink opens in a new window based in the Office for Student Opportunity offers support for these activities, and the Department's dedicated Study Abroad Co-ordinator can provide more specific information and assistance.

Core modules

You will learn through a combination of lectures, small-group tutorials and practical sessions based in the Department's well-equipped undergraduate computing laboratory. A central part of learning in Mathematics and Statistics is problem solving. We encourage and guide students in tackling a variety of theoretical exercises and computing tasks.

Core first and second-year modules covering probability, sets, mathematical statistics, linear algebra and modelling build a solid foundation of essential mathematical and statistical knowledge and skills. You will also have flexibility to choose some options.

In your third year, you will select three quarters of your modules from Mathematics or Statistics and a quarter from further options available in Statistics, Mathematics and other selected Departments.


Year One

Year Two

Year Three

The third (final) year of the BSc has no compulsory modules, however you must select half of your modules from Statistics (with three quarters of your final year modules from Mathematics or Statistics).


Optional modules

Optional modules can vary from year to year. Example optional modules may include:

Assessment

You will be assessed by a combination of closed and open-book examinations, continuous assessment and project work, depending on your options.

The first year counts 10%, the second year 30% and the third year 60% towards the final BSc degree mark.

Teaching

The curriculum is divided up into modules consisting of lectures and assessments, which are often supplemented by smaller group teaching such as tutorials, supervisions and computer labs.
Homework assignments are provided during the term and the expectation is that students work hard trying to tackle problems covering a range of levels of difficulty.


Class sizes

Class sizes vary from module to module. While selected optional modules may have smaller class sizes, some core modules may have over 300 students. Support classes for core modules usually consist of around 20 students.


Typical contact hours

Contact time is around 15 hours a week.

Tuition fees

Tuition fees cover the majority of the costs of your study, including teaching and assessment. Fees are charged at the start of each academic year. If you pay your fees directly to the University, you can choose to pay in instalments.

Undergraduate fees

On 4 November the UK government announced an increase in the tuition fee cap for Home students for academic year 2025/26. The University of Warwick’s Executive Board has consequently confirmed a change in fees from the previously advertised rate to £9,535.

Alongside the tuition fee increase, maintenance loans will also rise by 3.1%.

The University expects to increase fees for future years in line with any inflationary uplift as determined by the UK government.


How are fees set?

The UK Government sets tuition fee rates.

To learn more about how the UK student fees and maintenance loans are set, please visit the UK Government websiteLink opens in a new window and UCASLink opens in a new window.

Undergraduate fees

If you are an overseas student enrolling in 2025-26, your annual tuition fees will be as follows:

  • Band 1 – £26,290 per year (classroom-based courses, including Humanities and most Social Science courses)
  • Band 2 – £33,520 per year (laboratory-based courses, plus Maths, Statistics, Theatre and Performance Studies, Economics, and courses provided by Warwick Business School, with exceptions)

Tuition fees for 2026 entry have not been set. We will publish updated information here as soon as it becomes available, so please check back for updates about 2026 fee rates before you apply.


Fee status guidance

We carry out an initial fee status assessment based on the information you provide in your application. Students will be classified as Home or Overseas fee status. Your fee status determines tuition fees, and what financial support and scholarships may be available. If you receive an offer, your fee status will be clearly stated alongside the tuition fee information.

Do you need your fee classification to be reviewed?

If you believe that your fee status has been classified incorrectly, you can complete a fee status assessment questionnaire. Please follow the instructions in your offer information and provide the documents needed to reassess your status.

Eligibility for student loans

Your eligibility for student finance will depend on certain criteria, such as your nationality and residency status, your course, and previous study at higher education level.

Check if you're eligible for student finance.

Tuition Fee Loan

You can apply for a Tuition Fee Loan to cover your tuition fees. It is non-means tested, which means the amount you can receive is not based on your household income. The Loan is paid directly to the University so, if you choose to take the full Tuition Fee Loan, you won’t have to set up any payments.

Maintenance Loan for living costs

You can apply for a Maintenance Loan towards your living costs such as accommodation, food and bills. This loan is means-tested, so the amount you receive is partially based on your household income and whether you choose to live at home or in student accommodation.

There are a number of options that may be available to you including government, bursary and/or hardship support. Warwick also has a number of bursaries and scholarships Link opens in a new windowthat you may be eligible to apply for.


Repaying your loans

You will repay your loan or loans gradually once you are working and earning above a certain amount. For students starting their course after 1 August 2023, the repayment threshold is £25,000. Repayments will be taken directly from your salary if you are an employee. If your income falls below the earnings threshold, your repayments will stop until your income goes back up above this figure.
