University of East Anglia (UEA), BSc (Hons), Business Statistics

BSc Business Statistics is a three-year programme aimed at mathematically able students who are interested in pursuing a fulfilling career in business, through the application of statistical techniques.

The course provides you with a thorough knowledge of applied statistics, computing, databases, and a comprehensive understanding of business and its practices. You will benefit from the multidisciplinary nature of the programme, which combines teaching from the School of Computing Sciences, School of Mathematics, School of Economics and the Norwich Business School. Take advantage of our links with insurance giant Aviva, who are based right here in Norwich. That includes opportunities for tuition, work experience and eventually employment.

As well as developing your mathematical, financial and statistical knowledge, you will also complete a significant project in applied statistics, strengthening your understanding of mathematics and business. Successful students also have the opportunity to gain eligibility for up to 4 exemptions from examinations set by the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries.

The first year of the Business Statistics degree programme contains the same modules as the BSc Actuarial Science course. One of the benefits of this is that top students may transfer to the Actuarial Science degree programme after the first year, subject to space.
