2-Term Pathway - Foundation Certificate for Science and Engineering - Transfer to Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Mathematics - Statistics

Build a future by studying in the UK, with a pathway course at Kaplan International College (KIC) London. Situated in the world’s top academic city (QS Best Student Cities 2019), the College will prepare students for a university degree, and for a successful career. Study at one of the most respected international colleges in London, and progress to one of 8 universities, including the University of Bristol. The University of Bristol is a highly ranked Russell Group university with a fantastic reputation. Students will join a global community of students from more than 150 countries, and enjoy life in one of the UK’s most exciting cities. Bristol lecturers are passionate about their subject, with modules informed by cutting-edge research. Students can shape their degree to suit their interests; students could discover units like Complex Networks and Probability alongside core modules, or choose optional vocational units like Financial Risk Management or Maths in Schools to prepare them for a particular career. The curriculum currently includes opportunities to learn the statistical computing environment R, the Bayesian approach to estimation and prediction, and how to design powerful tests for statistical hypotheses. The first year provides a broad background in pure, applied and statistical mathematics via a range of compulsory units. Students will cover material in lectures and small-group tutorials, with the freedom to explore a range of topics in collaboration with a personal tutor and fellow students. From year two students will focus more on statistics and probability, although there is still scope to take some units from other areas. As students move through the course they will gain academic independence, moving from small-group tutorial teaching in year one to an optional, independent project in the final year. This degree is accredited by the Royal Statistical Society (RSS) and students will be automatically entitled to Graduate Statistician status on application to the RSS, provided they achieve at least a second class honours degree.
