Strand Campus
Strand Campus sits along the Thames at London's cultural heart. Alongside world-class teaching spaces, students enjoy access to the pedestrianised Strand Quad, with Somerset House and iconic landmarks just steps away.
Overview
Our Mathematics with Statistics with a Year in Industry BSc will give you a deep understanding of the fundamental aspects of both subjects. For statistics, we will teach you about a broad range of contemporary statistical methods and areas where it can be applied. For mathematics you will study the core areas of pure and applied mathematics.
In your first and second years, you’ll develop a deep understanding of a broad range of contemporary statistical methods, including the ability to apply them to solve complex problems. In mathematics you’ll cover core areas of pure and applied mathematics.
You will spend your third year gaining valuable work experience with a year-long placement at a UK company before returning to complete a final year with us. Finding an industry placement will require students to be resourceful and engaged. The Faculty has dedicated placement support providing advice and host employer-led events, ensuring you have all the tools to secure the right placement for you.

Course essentials
The Department of Mathematics at King’s College London has a long and distinguished history as a world-leading centre for research and education. By joining us, you will learn from and work alongside some of the foremost mathematical minds in the world. Our goal is to develop graduates with a pioneering mindset able to develop new ways of looking at familiar issues, use innovative tools to solve complex problems and move into rewarding careers.
In a world driven by data, studying statistics is more crucial than ever. It is a highly sought-after skill across all sectors, including Data Science, AI and Machine Learning. Our BSc programme develops proficiency across key branches of mathematics and statistics, teaching you how data is analysed, used and represented in society. By combining conceptual and analytical skills from mathematics with modelling and data analysis from statistics, you will build a unique toolkit for solving complex, real-world problems.
In your first and second years, you will cover robust statistical methods and their applications across various fields, such as healthcare, finance and social sciences. You will also understand the professional and ethical responsibilities of statisticians, including approaches to reliability and the quantification of uncertainty.
From your second year onwards, you can choose from a range of optional modules, with the flexibility to specialise in the areas that interest you, or take a broader approach, including choosing from diverse modules in your fourth year that cover topics including machine learning, computational methods, mathematics for finance, theoretical physics, geometry, number theory and algebra. You can also choose to apply your learning by tackling a dissertation on a topic of your choice, benefiting from close supervision by one of our world-leading experts.
You will spend your third year gaining valuable work experience with a year-long placement at a UK company before returning to complete your final year with us.
