Mathematics and Statistics (Hons) Lancaster University

Overview

Through the Mathematics with Statistics (Hons) degree from Lancaster University you will explore a wide range of mathematical topics, including multivariable calculus, probability and statistics, logic, proofs and theorems.

You will develop valuable transferable skills in data visualisation, data analysis, statistical modelling, problem-solving and computing, all of which make you highly desirable to future employers. These skills are honed by working in collaboration with fellow students, ruminating on theories and testing them out, delivering presentations and communicating your research results.

Career opportunities:

Mathematics is fundamental to the way our modern world works and is an essential tool to solving many of the challenges we face on a day-to-day basis. The problem-solving and analytical thinking skills you’ll gain from a degree in mathematics will be applicable in almost every industry and sector, making you a highly in-demand employee. From business and finance to technology, IT and health, there are a wealth of opportunities open to graduates of mathematics. Many are grounded within mathematical principles (including data analysis and programming), but there are also less traditionally mathematical roles that rely on skills gained during your undergraduate degree, such as positions within higher management, engineering, and teaching. Our graduates are well-paid too, with the median salaries of those from our Mathematics degrees being £30,000, 15 months after graduation (HESA Graduate Outcomes Survey 2024).
