We offer a range of degree programmes including BSc and Integrated master’s in mathematics and Statistics, MORSE (Mathematics, Operational Research, Statistics and Economics) and Data Science. We have a large number of international students and a capable and motivated student body – our standard entry requirements are A*A*A including mathematics and further mathematics.

Informal enquires can be addressed to Professors Dario Spano (D.Spano@warwick.ac.uk) or Jon Forster (J.J.Forster@warwick.ac.uk).
