This course will train you to spot and understand patterns in this data, and to make careful predictions about the future. From marketing strategies to psychology, from engineering to medicine, statistics is necessary to understand the world around us. Your assessments will mainly be examinations and regular coursework. In your third year, you'll do an individual project that combines a final report, poster presentation, and short written assignments. The demand for graduates with a maths and statistics degree is significant which gives you a wide variety of possible career options after graduation. On completion of this course students can pursue careers in: Finance (e.g. uncovering the systematic tendencies in stock markets); economics (e.g. what can we do to reduce unemployment and increase incomes?); Politics (e.g. opinion polls); Medical statistics (e.g. the effect of aspirin on the incidence of heart disease); and Psychology.
