In the current climate of rapid technological change in industry, business and commerce, the need for a thorough grounding in the basic principles of mathematics and statistics has become essential . In consultation with other Schools and Departments at City University, the Department of Mathematics has developed the Advanced Certificate in Mathematics and Statistics to provide such a skills base. The course is designed for students about to start postgraduate courses in subjects such as finance, investment management or actuarial science and for professionals in commerce and industry seeking to broaden their knowledge to include an understanding of the more technical developments in their fields. The course consists of two weeks intensive study and an examination leading to the award of the Advanced Certificate in Mathematics and Statistics. The course starts with preliminary mathematical concepts and moves on to material ranging from GCSE to first year degree level.
Topics covered include calculus, vectors and matrices, probability theory and statistics.
Teaching is by a combination of lectures, tutorials and computational workshops. No specific entry qualifications are necessary, although prior mathematical study at A-Level or equivalent is recommended. Or enter your queries below.
