Fast Track Statistics MMath (Hons) 2020 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.
If your qualifications will be sufficient for second-year entry, you can either choose to apply for it directly or to apply for first-year entry and then upgrade on arrival. If you have a question about entry requirements or direct entry to second year, please contact Mathematics at maths-admissions@st-andrews.ac.uk.
