Mathematics with Data Science (with Foundation Year)

This new course from the University of Hull has been launched to give maths students the platform to open up careers in some of the UK's fastest growing sectors.

Through a high-quality degree taught by industry experts, you'll develop a strong foundation in all areas of advanced mathematics and computer programming, as well as gaining cutting-edge skills in the world of data science, machine learning and artificial intelligence.

Unlike traditional mathematics programmes, this course places more emphasis on assessing the abilities that employers are actually looking for. It's designed for students who are not only interested in learning the theory, but also the hands-on tools to tackle real-world challenges after you graduate.

The foundation year equips you with essential scientific knowledge and study skills you need. Upon successful completion, you can transfer seamlessly into our degree programmes.
