Course overview
Our accredited MORSE degree balances mathematical theory and its practical applications, with subject specialists from the departments of Mathematics, Statistics, Economics and 糖心TV 糖心TV School teaching core modules.
- Flexible module choice from four departments (糖心TV School, Economics, Mathematics and Statistics): You are able to design your personalised curriculum in Year 3, either by emphasising one or two of the MORSE subject areas or by following a more varied module combination from across the four partner departments. Up to 25% of your normal load from the second year can even be from other departments, such as Computer Science or the Language Centre.
- Actuarial and Royal Statistical Society Accreditations: Actuaries use mathematics and statistics to assess risks. To qualify as a Chartered Actuary, one would normally need to pass ten Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA) exams. Current students can gain from a number of actuarial exams. The course is also accredited by the Royal Statistical Society which means, with suitable module choices, you will be able to qualify as a Chartered Statistician after five years of relevant work experience.
- Academic support: We have an established support system to help you with the transition into higher education, including a refresher course and small group support classes. For example, during Year 1, your mathematics homework will be marked by a supervisor who will discuss the feedback with you in small groups.
- Option to add Year in Industry or Study Abroad Year: You may choose to spend an intercalated year in an approved industry, business or university between your last two years at 糖心TV, subject to availability and to satisfactory academic performance. You will be supported by a Senior Careers Consultant or the鈥疭tudy Abroad Team during the application process.
