Pure
Statistics

MAS1243 (10+0) Applications of Math Methods to Finance
MAS1343 (0+10) Computational Probability and Stats using R
 These modules are not compulsory, but we do recommend them.
(last year 124 out of 128 SH students did these modules)
 Not available to with Biology, Financial Maths and with Management
non-MAS modules at Stage 1
 Reminder: of your 120 credits 80 are Compulsory MAS modules
You can take all, some or none of the extra MAS modules
 The University rules allow you to take any other modules!
 Subject to:
• the timetable allowing it
• the module leader/DPD accepting you (A level, module full)
 Can be changed in first 2 – 3 weeks (DPD Form)
 The popular choices are those which occur in degree combinations with
Maths and Stats:
Accounting, Business Studies, Psychology, Economics
 as well as
a language (e.g. Spanish, Chinese).
 But which module? Usually the same as the JH and 'with' students.
Stage 1 Major/Minor
 Stage 1 Major/Minor
