This flexible single-honours undergraduate Master's degree programme is for you if you expect to use statistics in your professional work. You will develop the capacity to formulate and analyse problems and to interpret scientific evidence using appropriate statistical methodology. You get good all-round mathematical knowledge together with the ability to experience more specialised results, methods and ideas; your education in these specialised areas is in sufficient depth to enable you to undertake postgraduate studies, conduct research or work as a specialist mathematician.A core of basic mathematics, probability and statistics provides you with the fundamental knowledge and skills, and the basis for more advanced work later on. Core material is covered in the first year, developing the capacity to learn and apply mathematical and statistical ideas. In the second year, besides probability and statistics, you can choose to take on courses from pure or applied mathematics, along with other optional units such as Programming with R. You will understand the significance and power of mathematics, and to acquire a thorough knowledge and understanding of those topics that any employer would expect of a Mathematics and Statistics graduate. After your first two years, you choose your lecture courses from a widening range of options in order that you can pursue whichever areas of mathematics most interest you. You also undertake a substantial final year project in probability and statistics.

A*AA with an A* in Mathematics.Further Maths is preferred but not essential but where taken will be included in the offer. If you do not have the required grades or subjects you may want to consider our integrated foundation year .Practical skills are a crucial part of science education and therefore there will be a requirement to pass the practical element of any science A Level taken. Where applicants are applying for science and related degrees, this is likely to be made explicit in the offers you will receive.Typical Contextual Offer: A*AB including A* in Mathematics A-level or AAA including AA in Mathematics and Further Mathematics A-level.Further Mathematics is preferred but not essential. When the Further Maths A level is taken it will be included in the offer. A grade A in A-level Further Mathematics would be required.
We normally require grades AAAAB in Scottish Highers. In addition, Scottish Advanced Highers at AAA (including Mathematics) is normally required.English Language not taken at Higher/Advanced Higher must have been achieved at SCQF level 5 (minimum National 5 grade C / Intermediate 2 grade C / Standard Grade Credit level grade 3).If you require further clarification about the acceptability of this qualification please contact us.

Each application is considered individually. Applicants should contact the Admissions Office to discuss their particular circumstances.As a guide we require a QAA-recognised Access to HE Diploma (a minimum of 60 credits overall with at least 45 at Level 3). The 45 credits at Level 3 to be with Distinction (to include 21 credits of specific Mathematics units). In addition, we require Advanced A-level in Mathematics at grade A*.
AS level results are not considered as part of the standard admissions process at The University of Manchester.
D2, D3, D3 in Principal subjects with D2 in Mathematics.We also consider applicants offering Pre-U Principal Subjects, or a mix of Pre-U and A-level subjects, in three distinct subjects.The University welcomes and recognises the value of the Cambridge Pre-U Global Perspectives and Research (GPR) and the opportunities it provides for applicants to develop independent study and research skills. However, the qualification will not form part of your offer conditions.
The University recognises the benefits of the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) and the opportunities it provides for applicants to develop independent study and research skills. Although the Extended Project will not be included in the conditions of your offer, we strongly encourage you to provide information about the EPQ in your personal statement and at interview (if appropriate).We may also choose to take your performance in the EPQ into account should places be available in August for applicants who narrowly miss the entry grades for their chosen course.
