Our accredited MMORSE degree balances mathematical theory and its practical applications, with core modules being taught by subject specialists from the departments of Mathematics, Statistics, Economics and Warwick Business School.
Choose modules from four different departments (Business School, Economics, Mathematics and Statistics): From the third year onwards, you will specialise in one of the six pathways (Actuarial Science, Financial Mathematics, Operational Research and Statistics, Econometrics and Mathematical Economics, Statistics with Mathematics, Data Analysis). Up to 25% of your normal load from the second year onwards can be from other departments, such as Computer Science or the Language Centre.
Actuarial and Royal Statistical Society Accreditations: Actuaries use mathematics and statistics to assess risks. To qualify as a Chartered Actuary, one would normally need to pass ten Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA) exams. As a MMORSE student, you can gain exemptions from a number of exams. The course is also accredited by the Royal Statistical Society which means that you will be able to qualify as a Chartered Statistician after five years of relevant work experience.
Academic support: We have an established support system to help you with the transition into higher education, including a refresher course and small group support classes. For example, during Year 1, your mathematics homework will be marked by a supervisor who will discuss the feedback with you in small groups.
Option to add Year in Industry or Study Abroad Year: You may choose to spend an intercalated year in an approved industry, business or university between your last two years at Warwick, subject to availability and to satisfactory academic performance. You will be supported by a Senior Careers Consultant or the Study Abroad Team during the application process.

Warwick may make differential offers to students in certain circumstances, such as those who have participated in a Widening Participation programme or who meet the University’s contextual data criteria. These offers are usually one or two grades below Warwick’s standard offer.
Do you offer foundation programmes?
All students who successfully complete the Warwick International Foundation Programme (IFP) and apply to Warwick through UCAS will receive a guaranteed conditional offer for a related undergraduate programme, for selected courses only. Further details are available in the standard offer and conditions for the IFP.
Can I take a gap year before starting my course?
Yes, Warwick welcomes applications for deferred (gap year) entry.
Will I need to interview for this course?
Warwick does not typically interview applicants. Offers are made based on the UCAS application, including predicted and achieved grades, the personal statement, and the school reference.
The first two years of the MORSE degrees follow a (mainly) fixed set of courses, laying the foundations of the four main subjects. In the final two years you then specialise in one of six pathways.
Year One: The compulsory modules in year one concentrate on the underlying mathematical ideas. You also study foundational material from economics and Operational Research (OR).
Year Two: In year two the statistics, economics and OR are developed further, and there is a wide range of optional modules.
Final years: The final two years comprise of core modules that align with your chosen pathway (Actuarial Science, Financial Mathematics, Operational Research and Statistics, Econometrics and Mathematical Economics, Statistics with Mathematics, Data Analysis). Depending on your pathway, the third year includes compulsory modules on advanced probability, statistical modelling, and financial mathematics. The fourth (final) year of MMORSE offers many modules in probability, statistics, economics, operational research and financial mathematics, and you also choose a masters-level dissertation topic from one of these areas.
Note that the module catalogue is subject to change for future years of study, as we evolve our courses in response to the latest developments in academia and industry. If optional modules are listed below, these can vary from year to year.
Year 1
Year 2
At least one of Mathematical Economics 1A, Economics 2, Economics 2: Microeconomics, or Economics 2: Macroeconomics
You will choose at least one of three key modules in economics (those wishing to take both Economics 2: Microeconomics and Economics 2: Macroeconomics take the single module Economics 2).
The choice will provide you with a sense of the importance of strategic considerations in economic problem solving. You will see that simple, intuitive principles, formulated precisely, can go a long way in understanding the fundamental aspects of many economic problems. You will also have the flexibility to tailor the specific area of economics to your own interests: Mathematical Economics 1A focuses on game theory, Economics 2: Microeconomics focuses on microeconomics from the points of view of consumers, producers, and competing firms, and Economics 2: Macroeconomics covers a collection of macroeconomic topics such as labour markets, exchange rates, fiscal and monetary policy, and the relationship between unemployment and inflation.
Year 3
The third year of MMORSE includes compulsory modules aligned to your chosen pathway and so may cover advanced probability, statistical modelling, financial mathematics, econometrics, or operational research.
Year 4
The fourth (final) year of MMORSE offers many modules in probability, statistics, economics, operational research and financial mathematics, and you also choose a Master's level dissertation topic from one of these areas.
Fees and funding
Tuition fee
£9,790
On 26 November 2025, the UK government announced that the tuition fee cap for UK undergraduate students for the 2026-27 academic year would increase to £9,790 from the 2025-26 rate of at £9,535.

Many core modules are designed specifically with MORSE students in mind. These cover the technical intricacies of theoretical subjects while emphasising their modern applications.
Core modules are taught by staff from across all four partner departments and involve deriving theorems, optimisation, quantitative reasoning and modelling complex systems. MMORSE students work on their own research project under the guidance of a lecturer or professor.
In most of recent years, Overseas and European students form at least one-third of the intake allowing our students to form lifelong, global friendship networks whilst at Warwick.
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 20-30 students.
