Our vision
The School of Mathematics, Statistics and Actuarial Science is a forward-thinking research-led school. Our internationally recognised researchers and leading industry experts use their research and professional experiences to inform our degree programmes.
We put students first and are committed to ensuring all students have the guidance, skills, opportunities and support they need to excel both at university and in their chosen career.
Our academic staff have strong links with industry, professional societies and influential research organisations. Our research touches on many areas of society including, ecology and conservation, pensions and finance, health, and medical science.
We are an outward looking school, working with businesses, locally, nationally and internationally to help them address the challenges they face. We also work closely with local schools and groups to promote maths, and our Statistical Consultancy service (known as Stats Desk) is a key source of advice for students who need statistical advice with projects. In addition, we offer current students studying in other schools at the University the opportunity to add a year in data analytics to their degree.
We welcome students and staff from around the world and provide an inclusive environment for all. We have an ongoing commitment to embedding equality, diversity and inclusivity into everything we do, as demonstrated by our Athena SWAN Silver Award.
