The BSc (Hons) in Statistics allows you to specialise in the branch of mathematics that focuses on collecting, analysing and presenting large quantities of numerical data. There are many practical applications for statistics, including fields such as science and medicine, government, business and education.
Statistics students will acquire the analytical techniques, clear logical thinking and deductive reasoning necessary to explore some of these fascinating areas of research.
Statistics is studied up to Honours level in both the Faculty of Science (BSc) and the Faculty of Arts (MA). Students who have a background in the sciences or who wish to study Statistics alongside science subjects at St Andrews should apply for the BSc. For those interested in studying Statistics alongside Arts subjects, the MA in Statistics may be of interest instead. The BSc and MA degree programmes are mathematically identical.
Course information
The BSc (Hons) in Statistics is a four-year course run by the School of Mathematics and Statistics. The School also offers an MA in Statistics; the statistics element within both the BSc and MA degree programmes is exactly the same.
During your first year, your studies will focus on mathematics, with the aim of reinforcing your basic skills before embarking upon the study of statistics in your second year. Your second year will focus on a central core of material within statistics which will provide the foundation for advanced study at Honours level.
Alongside Statistics, in the first year of your studies you will be required to study up to two additional subjects. In the second year, you may choose to study Statistics only, or can carry on at least one of these additional subjects, sometimes two. Find out more about how academic years are organised.
During third and fourth year, students may select modules from a range of options on advanced and specialist-specific topics. Specialist subject areas may include:
Final-year students must also complete a project on a topic chosen in consultation with teaching staff at the School of Mathematics and Statistics.
