Loughborough University's Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Mathematics and Statistics provides a thorough grounding in mathematics combined with a substantial statistics and probability component, giving students the tools required for wide-ranging applied work with data in an increasingly data-driven society. The importance of statistics in today's information age cannot be overstated. Statistics are the tools used to evaluate ideas, test theories, and inform policies. Statistics help us arrive at the truth. We live in an era where more data is collected than ever before. For this reason, demand is high for talented statisticians. The program aims to equip students with the advanced mathematical ideas and computational techniques to succeed in this area. The course includes modern applications such as medical statistics, and a major final-year project which offers a connection to contemporary statistics research. Over the duration of the course, students will gain a solid grounding in the fundamentals of mathematics from geometry and linear algebra to complex variables and probability theory. This will be complemented by core modules designed to develop their skills as statisticians, as well as varied further topics chosen from all areas of pure and applied mathematics and statistics. In the final year, students will undertake a substantial statistics project.
