Mathematics with Statistics

About this course

Mathematics with statistics is a combination that brings together the abstract power of pure and applied mathematics with the practical discipline of statistical reasoning and data analysis. Mathematics develops your capacity to think rigorously, construct proofs, model complex systems and apply formal methods to problems across science, engineering and the social world. Statistics provides the tools to collect, analyse and interpret data, to quantify uncertainty and to draw valid inferences from evidence. Together, they produce a graduate who can think analytically, handle quantitative information with confidence and apply mathematical and statistical methods to real-world problems. At Heriot-Watt University, this four-year full-time programme includes a sandwich year in professional placement, a year abroad and a work placement, giving you both international experience and direct indu
