The aim of the Professional Bachelor’s Study Programme “Mathematician–Statistician” is to prepare highly qualified specialists in mathematics and statistics for careers in public institutions and the private sector in Latvia.
Graduates are equipped to work in ministries, the Central Statistical Bureau, municipalities, audit firms, insurance and reinsurance companies, banks, and other organisations — either as statistical mathematicians or in other roles requiring systematic, in-depth, mathematically grounded statistical analysis, mathematical modelling, and data-driven forecasting.
The programme develops strong analytical competence, enabling graduates to support strategic decision-making and evidence-based planning across a wide range of industries.
The programme offers the theoretical basis of mathematical courses necessary for successful mastering of the professional specialization courses in mathematics and statistics required for the profession of mathematician statistician. The programme envisages an internship in the volume of 20 credit points, during which the student can apply the theoretical knowledge and practical skills acquired in the study courses in solving real-life, practical tasks, as well as become conversant with the specific features of the profession. The programme also includes general education courses taught at the University of Latvia – Basic Entrepreneurship and Communication Psychology. These courses expand students' horizons both in economics and law issues related to the profession, and in the matters regarding exploration of the world.
The degree acquired after graduating the professional bachelor’s study programme “Mathematician Statistician” provides an education equivalent to that offered in other European Union countries and beyond. Thus, by fulfilling the programme requirements, the student acquires professional skills and abilities necessary for the work of a mathematician statistician, as well as academic knowledge in mathematics, which opens an opportunity to continue the studies in the relevant master's programmes.
