The University is proud to have recently launched two exciting programmes for 2025: the Applied Mathematics BSc (Hons) and the Applied Statistics and Data Science MSc.
These new courses reflect the growing importance of data-focused innovation and are designed to provide students with the skills needed to tackle complex, real-world challenges.
Applied Mathematics BSc
The new Applied Mathematics BSc offers a powerful blend of theory and real-world problem solving, preparing students for a wide range of exciting careers.
The degree will equip students with the mathematical tools and computational skills to tackle complex challenges. Students will learn how to analyse data, optimise systems, and build models to predict outcomes in a diverse range of fields.
Studying Applied Mathematics at Liverpool will open doors to jobs across a broad spectrum of industries, including engineering, data science, logistics, healthcare, finance and biostatistics.
Programme Director, Professor Daniel Colquitt highlights the course’s value:
“With a strong emphasis on practical applications, an Applied Mathematics degree opens doors to jobs that are in high demand and gives you the flexibility to innovate and make an impact in nearly every industry. Plus, the problem-solving abilities you develop will be invaluable no matter where your career takes you!”
Key features of the programme include the opportunity to undertake a year abroad or a year in industry, offering students practical experience and a global perspective that enhances employability.

Applied Statistics and Data Science MSc
The Applied Statistics and Data Science MSc is ideal for graduates with a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, or Maths) degree, who want to pursue a career in statistics and data science across a broad range of sectors.
Students will first learn the foundations of data science and statistical models, then go on to master contemporary machine learning methods and programming skills.
The MSc also allows students to tailor their learning through specialisation in one of three pathways: Global Health and Epidemiology, Machine Learning for Investment Science, or Statistics, and the summer research project provides the opportunity to collaborate with industry partners.
Graduates of this MSc will be well-suited to roles in industries including IT, healthcare, government agencies, telecommunications, finance, and sports analytics, where they are increasingly using statistics and big data for planning and decision-making.
Programme Director, Dr Kamila Zychaluk, highlights the programme’s importance:
“Studying Applied Statistics and Data Science will give you the ability to analyse and interpret data, making you a key player in today’s data-focused world. Data scientists, statisticians, and data analysts are in high demand and are offered rewarding salaries due to the critical role they play in organisations.”
