School of Mathematics, Statistics and Actuarial Science

If you’re curious about a postgraduate course in Data Science or Actuarial Science, come along to our Postgraduate Open Evening on Wednesday 26th February at our Canterbury campus!

If you don’t have a STEM background but are looking for a career in that area, our MSc in Data Science is a conversion course so you don’t need a background in the subject. We also also have two Actuarial Science conversion courses: MSc Actuarial Science and MSc Applied Actuarial Science (Integrated Masters). If you don’t have a STEM undergraduate degree but do have a Maths A-level or equivalent, you are also eligible to apply!

Represent your School and the wider University by applying to be one of our incredible student ambassadors! There are a range of opportunities available for both undergraduate and postgraduate students. Deadline: 9am Wednesday 2nd October. Link in bio! 💥

Join us for two bespoke events curated for everyone who is interested in Taught Masters Programmes in Mathematics, Statistics or Actuarial Science on Wednesday 11th September.

From wherever you are across the globe, you’ll get the chance to get a flavour of Kent’s buzzing campus and vibrant community life through our first event of the day, which is entirely virtual! Sign up to our Life at Kent online session from 10-10.45am, with the option to also select a subject-specific session which will run from 10.45-11.30am - where you can ask your course questions to our academic experts 📈🤝💥

If you’re interested in asking these questions in-person, come along to the Sibson building on Canterbury campus from 5-7pm to meet and chat to our wonderful lecturers. Feel free to bring your supporters with you, and experience for yourself the welcoming and supportive atmosphere that we are proud to offer. It’s not too late to apply for this September either!
