Course summary
The MMath (Hons) in Statistics allows you to specialise in the branch of mathematics that focuses on collecting, analysing and presenting large quantities of numerical data. There are many practical applications for statistics, including fields such as science and medicine, government, business and education.
Students of statistics will acquire the analytical techniques, clear logical thinking and deductive reasoning necessary to explore some of these fascinating areas of research.
The MMath allows you to combine undergraduate and postgraduate study into a single five-year programme, graduating with a Masters degree.
Course details
The MMath (Hons) in Statistics is a five-year Integrated Masters course run by the School of Mathematics and Statistics. The course offers advanced study of statistics at postgraduate level during your final year, allowing you to graduate with a Masters degree.
In the first year, your studies will focus on mathematics, with the aim of reinforcing your basic skills before embarking upon the study of statistics in your second year. Your second year will focus on a central core of material within statistics which will provide the foundation for advanced study at Honours level.
Alongside statistics, in the first year of your studies you will be required to study up to two additional subjects. In the second year, students only take mathematics and statistics modules.
Careers
Demand for mathematically trained graduates vastly outstrips the supply, and hence career prospects are excellent in a variety of fields.
Recruiters seek numerate graduates who are literate, think logically, write and present well, and can work with relevant technology – St Andrews degrees develop all of these skills.
A mathematics degree is recognised as a substantial achievement in a demanding discipline.
