Mathematics and Statistics - Study Abroad (Hons) Lancaster University

Overview

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

In Year 2, as well as deepening your mathematical knowledge in analysis, algebra, probability and statistics, you will start to work on both individual and group projects which will enhance your research and employment skills.

As you return from studying abroad into Year 4, you can choose modules that appeal to your interests, enabling you to delve deeper and gain the specialist skills and knowledge needed to guide you towards a specific career pathway. This could be in areas such as financial mathematics, medical or environmental statistics, forecasting, AI, epidemiology or statistical ecology. You will learn how to visualise data, create reliable statistical models and machine learning algorithms, and study effective strategies for the deployment of these methods. You will then learn how to communicate your findings to the end-user.

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).
