Mathematics and Statistics with Data Science

About this course

Mathematics and statistics with data science is a degree that places rigorous quantitative training at the centre of one of the defining professional skills of the present decade. Mathematics provides the formal foundations: analysis, linear algebra, probability theory, and optimisation, all of which underpin both the theoretical and applied dimensions of data science. Statistics adds the framework for drawing defensible inferences from data, managing uncertainty, and building models that generalise beyond the sample. Data science applies these to the practical challenge of extracting insight from the large and messy datasets that modern organisations generate. At the University of Reading, this three-year, full-time programme includes a sandwich year, a year abroad, and a work placement, making it a degree with unusually rich experiential learning built in. The placement gives you dire
