BSc Mathematics with Statistics
About this course
Mathematics with statistics is a degree built on the insight that the two fields are deeply complementary. Pure and applied mathematics provide the logical framework and the analytical tools, while statistics and probability provide the methods for reasoning under uncertainty and for drawing reliable conclusions from data. Together they form one of the most powerful intellectual toolkits available, applicable to virtually every domain in which quantitative reasoning matters, from finance and engineering to healthcare, environmental science and the social sciences. At Loughborough this three-year full-time programme provides a thorough grounding in mathematics combined with a substantial statistics and probability component. You will develop rigour in analysis, algebra and applied mathematics alongside deep competence in statistical theory, data analysis, regression modelling, Bayesian methods and computational statistics. Loughborough's strong tradition in applied and industrial mathematics means the programme is attentive to the real-world uses of the skills it develops, and you will encounter genuine applications throughout your studies. A typical entry tariff of 152 points reflects the programme's combination of mathematical ambition and competitive admissions. Graduates of mathematics with statistics programmes are consistently among the most sought-after in the job market. The quantitative and analytical skills the degree develops transfer across finance, actuarial science, data science, pharmaceutical statistics, operational research, software development, engineering, education and academic research. Many graduates move into actuarial training, where the combination of mathematical rigour and statistical expertise is particularly valued. Others work as data scientists, analysts, statisticians or quantitative researchers in the private and public sectors. Postgraduate study in statistics, data science, operational research, actuarial science or a related field is a well-established pathway for those who want to specialise further or pursue research careers.
