Entry requirements
Minimum 2:1 undergraduate honours degree in a relevant subject with relevant modules. We look for applications that demonstrate background within mathematics (particularly calculus and linear algebra), probability (and/or stochastic processes) and statistics (eg Linear modelling, multivariate methods, machine learning, time series etc). Typically we require a selection of modules from each of the three areas to cover each year of undergraduate study and at least 50% of the degree to be in a mathematical subject. Applications with employment history in statistical or data science fields are also welcomed, including for distance learning courses. In such cases we consider the balance of both relevant parts of the employment history and academic qualifications.
