Statistics (Taught)

Our Statistics MSc enables graduates and professionals with a strong mathematical background to research, develop and apply modern statistical modelling techniques to a range of practical settings. The course will prepare you to critically think about real world data analysis problems arising in the public or private sector, for example in the financial, pharmaceutical or manufacturing sectors.

Key benefits

• A rigorous approach to statistical modelling and data analysis, including both the theoretical underpinnings and state-of-the-art computational tools.

• Acquiring the ability to design and evaluate data collection procedures and apply the most appropriate statistical methods to answer practical questions in a data-driven way.

• Exposure to data analysis applications arising in a variety of practical contexts.

• Lecturers on the course have extensive experience in a wide-range of statistical problems and applications, for example in the design of experiments in industry, financial modelling, geostatistics and biostatistics.
