There’s a vast amount of healthcare data in the world. And growing demand for medical statisticians who can analyse it to solve the biggest challenges in medicine.

Study MSc Medical Statistics to combine your passion for healthcare with your analytical mindset. Help to advance medical knowledge, prevent diseases, improve treatments, and influence government health policies. From designing clinical studies to identifying the causes of diseases, you’ll develop the specialist skills you need to play a vital role in global health and development.

What you will learn

Discover how to select appropriate clinical study designs and apply statistical techniques to analyse health data
Learn to apply the theory and practice of statistics to clinical trials, epidemiology, and public health
Gain knowledge of different areas of medical statistics and delve into questions of causality
Answer medical questions and communicate your analysis to clinicians, scientists, patients and other statisticians
Identify and explore your personal interests, ready to hit the ground running once you graduate

Each lecture you experience will be followed by a practical session – giving you the opportunity to immediately put theory into practice.

To support your growth, we also work with various healthcare consultancies and pharmaceutical companies, so you can learn directly from those working in the field. And you’ll have access to our centre of statistical methodology where speakers from around the world come to strengthen your knowledge in epidemiology and public health.

Who is it for?

Although many of our applicants have a mathematics-based first degree, you don't necessarily need a background in mathematics and statistics to succeed on this course. We just ask that you have a good working knowledge of calculus, algebra, probability theory and matrix algebra.

Perhaps you’re a medical professional looking for a change in direction. Maybe you’re a biology or medicine graduate wanting to combine your love of healthcare with your strong mathematical skillset. Or you’re a graduate of another degree who can demonstrate strong quantitative and computer skills and an interest in health research.

You don’t need industry experience to join us. With its focus on applying statistical methods and interpreting data, this course is ideal if you want to examine medical data and make a real difference.

Many students get jobs offers long before they even finish their studies. You could work for academic institutions, the pharmaceutical industry, clinical trial units, and national health services.
