Mathematics and Statistics - MMathStat

Mathematics enhances your ability to think clearly, learn new ideas quickly, manipulate precise and intricate concepts, follow complex reasoning, construct logical arguments and expose dubious ones. Third largest research power in the UK for mathematical sciences: You will be taught by research-strong departments that offer a wide range of module choices. Up to 25% of your normal load can be from other departments, such as Physics, Philosophy, Computer Science or the Language Centre. As part of the MMathStat degree you will complete a supervised research project and have the opportunity to specialise in areas such as advanced statistics, biostatistics, computational statistics, actuarial and financial mathematics, and probability. Actuarial and Royal Statistical Society Accreditations: Actuaries use mathematics and statistics to assess risks. To qualify as a Chartered Actuary, one would normally need to pass ten Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA) exams. Current students can gain exemptions from a number of these exams. The course is also accredited by the Royal Statistical Society which means, with suitable module choices, you will be able to qualify as a Chartered Statistician after five years of relevant work experience. Academic support: We have an established support system to help you with the transition into higher education, including a refresher course and small group support classes. For example, during Year 1, your mathematics homework will be marked by a supervisor who will discuss the feedback with you in small groups. Option to add Year in Industry or Study Abroad Year: You may choose to spend an intercalated year in an approved industry, business or university between your last two years at Warwick, subject to availability and to satisfactory academic performance. You will be supported by a Senior Careers Consultant or the Study Abroad Team during the application process.
