Mathematics/Statistics

About this course

Mathematics and statistics together cover two of the most powerful intellectual traditions human beings have developed: the abstract reasoning that produces pure mathematical truths, and the probabilistic and inferential methods that allow us to draw conclusions from data about the uncertain world. The two disciplines reinforce each other, and studying them in combination gives you both the theoretical depth that distinguishes a mathematics degree and the applied statistical literacy that is in growing demand across science, business, policy, and technology. At the University of Glasgow this four-year, full-time programme allows you to choose from a wide variety of courses in the Honours years, enabling you to shape your degree around the areas of mathematics and statistics that interest you most. You will build from foundational material in calculus, algebra, and probability through to
