• MA or BSc? The mathematical/statistical content of the BSc and MA degrees is the same. The difference is in the other subjects available for study alongside mathematics or statistics. In their first two years, students on the BSc degree take at least 40 credits from the core Science subjects (which include Mathematics) and a total of at least 160 credits from a broader range of Science subjects. Those on the MA degree take at least 160 credits from a range of Arts subjects (which is taken to include Mathematics).


• Applied Mathematics and Statistics were rated Top in Scotland and Applied Mathematics was rated equal fourth in the United Kingdom in the Research Assessment Exercise 2008 (see page 5).


• A flexible structure that allows students either to specialise in some particular area (e.g. Applied, Pure Maths or Statistics) or to acquire training across a broader range of topics.


• Strong tutorial support for students throughout their undergraduate careers with weekly, small group tutorials for all courses in the early years.


• Opportunities to work closely, and undertake project work, with a research group.


• First-rate facilities and environment. • High quality teaching, rated ‘Excellent’ in the last Teaching Quality Assessment.


St Andrews provides a stimulating environment in which to pursue Mathematics or Statistics under the tutelage of world- class researchers. Not only will you have the opportunity to pursue an area of interest but also you will acquire the skills and attributes sought after by graduate employers. St Andrews has first-class researchers in the three main areas of mathematical science: Applied, Pure and Statistics. The School of Mathematics & Statistics also includes the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Computational Algebra, the Centre for Research into Ecological and Environmental Modelling and the internationally recognised Solar and Magnetospheric MHD Theory Group.
