Join the University of Southampton, ranked in the World Top 50 and 13th in the UK for Statistics and Operational Research (QS World University Rankings by Subject, 2025). This programme, offered in support of the Government Statistical Service, provides specialist skills and knowledge in statistics and data science. It is particularly suitable if you are employed in an analytical profession in the UK Government or equivalent organisations in the UK and abroad. It is designed to provide you with the specialist skills and knowledge which are central to conducting professional statistical work within government. The aim of the programme is to equip you with the skills you need to develop a career as a Statistician, Data Analyst or similar allied profession in an Official Statistics or analytical environment. Many of the skills taught on the programme, such as survey methods and data analysis, are also in great demand by employers outside of government who are conducting large-scale statistical work.
You'll need a 2.1 degree in a quantitative subject such as Geography, Psychology, Population Sciences, Economics, Econometrics, Statistics and Mathematics. Some exposure to statistical methods is required and usually applicants are employed in the area of Official Statistics.
