Additional information

Our mathematics courses give you the chance to become highly numerate and gain excellent training in logical thought. Mathematicians are not satisfied with an observation until they have proved it to be true. By learning mathematics and statistics at Birkbeck, you learn to construct reasoned, structured arguments. These tools of analysis, whether it be modelling situations with appropriate equations or using statistics to analyse data sets and test hypotheses, have countless applications in the real world.
