Our degree with foundation year could be the stepping stone you need to achieve your goals. The foundation year aims to prepare you for degree-level study and is a great way to build the confidence, skills and knowledge needed to succeed on your degree course.
The course aims to provide you with a solid grounding in mathematical principles and an understanding of the core technology associated with the use and application of computer systems. Professional and academic skills are integrated across all modules, including information finding and handling, problem-solving and the communication of outcomes.
A degree in Mathematics and Statistics could lead to roles in areas such as education to the environment, finance to forensics, sport technology or transportation.
Accreditation for the degree is being renewed as we are making some changes to our modules1.
We regularly review our course content, to make it relevant and current for the benefit of our students. For these reasons, course modules may be updated.
Throughout the course, great emphasis is placed on practical skills development; some of your time being spent on computer laboratory sessions, which may involve the use of mathematical software to solve mathematical problems. We also run example classes where possible, covering things like going over solutions to exercises.
