Program overview
A one year master degree in mathematical science, covering advanced statistics, stochastic modelling, optimisation, computational methods and a substantial research project.
Mathematics and statistics underpin the analytics and data science roles that hire heavily, which makes this more employable than its abstract title suggests.
Master of Science in Mathematics and Statistics is taught at the University of West London, a UK university with degree awarding powers. Because Master of Science in Mathematics and Statistics is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after Master of Science in Mathematics and Statistics ends, or three years for a doctorate. To claim it after Master of Science in Mathematics and Statistics you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. One limit applies to Master of Science in Mathematics and Statistics as to every taught course in Britain: the rules introduced in January 2024 stop taught students bringing a spouse or children as dependants, so Master of Science in Mathematics and Statistics cannot support a family move.
Applicants to Master of Science in Mathematics and Statistics need a bachelor degree with a minimum of 65 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 with no band below 5.5, and tuition for Master of Science in Mathematics and Statistics is recorded at GBP 17,250 a year. UWL charges no application fee, so applying for Master of Science in Mathematics and Statistics costs you nothing, and no scholarship is recorded against it. Master of Science in Mathematics and Statistics lists four entry windows a cycle. Apply Study Visa manages the Master of Science in Mathematics and Statistics application, the deposit, the offer, the CAS and the UK student visa as one process.
