Mathematics and Statistics Degrees

Choose from a range of accredited undergraduate mathematics, statistics, and data science degrees.

Unlock your future in mathematics, statistics, and data science

Choose from a foundation year, single honours, joint honours or mathematics degrees with finance or business.

You’ll be taught by specialists in their field. They’ll give you insight into:

quantum mechanics
Bayesian statistics
applications and group theory

Foundation year

Created for those without an A-Level, or equivalent, in maths. This one-year, full-time programme is your stepping stone to one of our accredited mathematics and statistics BSc degrees.

Complete the foundation year and guarantee your place on our Mathematics BSc course or our Mathematics and Statistics BSc course.

Single honours

Choose from a Bachelor of Science (BSc) or Master of Mathematics (MMath).

Our MMath course offers advanced modules, specialised study and enhanced technical skills. It's an ideal choice if you’re considering postgraduate study.

Joint honours

Immerse yourself in two disciplines with our joint honours courses. You'll gain expertise in more than one field by splitting your time evenly between the two areas in Stage 2 and 3 of your programme.

Mathematics with the Business School

These two degrees are taught with our triple-accredited Business School.

You’ll spend two-thirds of your time studying mathematics and the remaining time studying specialised business subjects like:

accountancy
corporate finance
management

Newcastle University Business School building.
