Our Statistics Graduate Certificate is designed for graduates who don't have all the background knowledge for a masters degree in statistics. Students who perform well can progress on to our Statistics MSc.This nine-month part-time distance learning course runs from late September until early June, with all teaching and exams held online. You'll need to dedicate around 20 hours a week to your studies.You’ll take three core modules that cover the relevant first-year undergraduate mathematics, and the relevant first and second-year probability and statistical theory. An average final mark of approximately 65 per cent on the Graduate Certificate, with at least 60 per cent in each of the three modules, will usually allow you to progress onto the Statistics MSc, provided you meet the University's English language requirements.
