About this course
BSc in Mathematics with Data Science, a mathematics degree centred on analytical and computational methods. Core topics include Programming, Data Analysis, Statistics, and Mathematical Modelling. The curriculum introduces foundational theory before moving to advanced analytical techniques. The first year covers core subjects through modules such as Microeconomics I, Programming for Data Science, Mathematical Methods, Elementary Statistical Theory, Mathematical Proof and Analysis, Abstract Mathematics and Algorithms, and The LSE Course. The second year develops the mathematical and computational base with Algorithms and Data Structures, Further Mathematical Methods (Calculus), Further Mathematical Methods (Linear Algebra), Real Analysis, Optimisation Theory, and Probability and Distribution Theory. The third year allows students to select options from a range of courses to tailor their studies.
