Gain sought after skills in applied mathematics, programming, statistics and data analysis.
This course is for you if you have an analytical mind, enjoy visualising and interpreting data and thrive on a challenge. You'll learn how to use your mathematical skills to formulate problems and discover patterns, and apply these techniques to analyse data from many different sectors.
Computing is an essential tool in data science and you'll develop strong programming skills with the ability to implement mathematical algorithms on large data sets. You’ll learn how data science is used in a wide range of industries and gain an understanding of machine learning and artificial intelligence at the cutting-edge of data science.
Flexibility
All of our courses are flexible and allow for a wide choice of units after year one. You may be able to switch courses during the first year.
Supporting your studies
As a mathematics student here, you’ll have access to a wide range of support options, including tutorials, a personal tutor and the Mathematics Resources Centre (MASH) to assist with revision and coursework if you need it.
Put your learning into practice
Our academics carry out their own high-level research alongside teaching, so modules are always informed by the latest developments. Some units give you the opportunity to work alongside our academics and contribute to research in the Department.
Specialist facilities
As well as access our Mathematics Resources Centre (MASH), a final-year option also provides the opportunity to use our high-performance computing facility ‘Balena’, which can perform over 110 trillion calculations a second.
Careers
With a mix of technical and problem solving skills, mathematicians are highly sought after in a wide variety of roles. For example, you could go on to work in the finance sector as an accountant, actuary or analyst, as a statistician in government or into teaching roles. You could also go on to work as a data scientist or software developer in commerce or the technology sector.

Standard Qualification Requirements
A*AA in three A levels including A* in Mathematics.
If you are studying Further Mathematics as one of your A level subjects, our typical offer is instead:
A*AB in three A levels including A* in Mathematics and B in Further Mathematics.
Most of our students will join us with three A levels, but you may have study beyond this (such as a project qualification or additional study in maths) which demonstrates your individual talents that will help you with your degree. We recognise these studies through our alternative offers.
A*AB in three A levels including A* in Mathematics plus one of:
grade A in an EPQ,
grade B in the Welsh Baccalaureate Skills Challenge Certificate.
If you receive an offer for this course and are studying one of these qualifications you will be given both the typical and alternative offer.
We do not make alternative offers based on mathematics skills for this course.
Typical offer:
AA in two Advanced Highers including Mathematics.
We make offers based on Advanced Highers. You will typically be expected to have completed five Scottish Highers and your grades in these will be considered as part of your application. We prefer applicants who have achieved AAAAA in their Highers.
D*D*D* in the BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma (QCF) plus A* in A level Mathematics.
36 points overall and either 7, 6, 6 in three Higher Level subjects including 6 in
Mathematics: Analysis & Approaches or 7, 6, 5 in three Higher Level subjects
including 7 in Mathematics: Analysis &
Approaches.
D*DD in the BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma (RQF) plus A* in A level Mathematics.
