School of Mathematics and Statistics

You can check the full rules for the Science degree here.

The majors listed here are also the majors in combined degress with Science. Note that normally other Science courses must be taken as well as Mathematics to meet combined degree rules.

The available majors in Mathematics and Statistics are:

Mathematics
Statistics
Physical Oceanography
Marine Science (Physical Oceanography)
Double Major in Mathematics and Statistics

Note: where two courses are listed, the second is the Higher version
