Highly self-directed programmes, enabling you to tailor your learning to your interests
Taught by leading experts in their field with strong links to industry
Successful research and business partnerships with leading and ambitious companies
Excellence in pure, applied, statistics and interdisciplinary mathematics research
Mathematics and Statistics plays a fundamental role in many aspects of modern life, providing the underpinning language and tools for a wide variety of disciplines and technologies. The department combines expertise in mathematics and statistics with expertise in the application of mathematical and statistical techniques to solving real-world problems. We aim to be a diverse department where everyone can feel at home.
At Exeter, Mathematics and Statistics students will encounter a wide variety of mathematics covering pure mathematics, applied mathematics, statistics and computation, and will be given the opportunity to explore applications in high-impact fields including climate, healthcare and industrial challenges. We provide a caring and supportive learning environment.
