Fast Track Statistics MMath (Hons) 2018 entry
It is possible for students applying for the MMath in Statistics to complete their degree in four years instead of five by taking the Fast Track degree route.
Fast Track students take the same modules required by the Statistics MMath programme, but at an accelerated rate. This route allows students to take a mixture of first-year and second-year modules, giving them a gentle start to first year, but then progresses to an accelerated sequence of modules. This means students will have an increasing workload over the remaining years of study to ensure advanced topics are reached by fourth year.
Fast Track students will have the opportunity to study abroad during their third year of study.
To find out more information, or to discuss the possibility of taking the Fast Track route, please contact the School of Mathematics and Statistics.
