Study Pathway: 1-year Degree

Our on-campus taught masters in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, Advanced Statistics, or Data Analytics are taught over a 12 month period. The first two terms are spent giving you a thorough grounding in the subject, before you spend 3 months in the summer undertaking a novel research project.

Study Pathway: 2-year Degree (part-time)

Our on-campus taught master’s in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, Advanced Statistics, or Data Analytics can be taken over a 24 month period, leaving time for other responsibilities as time for the consolidation of the knowledge learnt. Taught courses are taken in both years, with a novel research project being undertaken in the second year.

Study Pathway: Online Distance Learning

Our Online Distance Learning (ODL) MSc in Data Analytics offers you the opportunity to study from home at a pace that suits you. Taken over 2 or 3 years, the master’s provides a thorough grounding in methods for learning from data, both in terms of statistical modelling and computation. You will also gain practical hands-on experience in carrying out various data-driven analytical projects. Delivered via reading materials, tutor-led videos, and expert-led live sessions, this pathway is perfect to help you develop your career alongside your current job.
