This programme transcends traditional academic boundaries, representing a strategic response to a critical need in the professional sphere. By seamlessly integrating statistical theory with practical application, it equips you with versatile skills in modelling and analysis.

The MSc Statistics programme offers a comprehensive curriculum that encompasses both foundational and advanced statistical principles and techniques, coupled with intensive data analysis training. Our aim is to equip you with the capacity to develop and apply sophisticated statistical models, utilizing computational techniques and advanced statistical software. This programme is designed not only to enhance your statistical problem-solving abilities but also to teach skills relevant to addressing contemporary challenges at the forefront of statistical research.

In addition to technical prowess, the programme places a strong emphasis on the development of a written project and independent approach to work. These skills are crucial in effectively communicating complex statistical findings to a diverse range of audiences.

The current landscape reveals a significant deficit in professionals proficient in statistical analysis, a gap that is projected to widen in the future. Our programme addresses this gap by nurturing highly qualified statisticians equipped to contribute meaningfully across various sectors, including economics, medicine, finance, insurance, and industrial management.

Graduates of this programme will be uniquely positioned to integrate statistical expertise with practical problem-solving, providing reasoned and analytical solutions to complex issues.

Employability

Graduates with an MSc in Statistics are highly sought after in a diverse range of industries, thanks to their specialized skills in data analysis, predictive modelling, and machine learning. Their expertise is crucial in sectors such as finance, healthcare, technology, and government, especially in an era where big data drives decision-making.

Statisticians also play pivotal roles in research, public policy, and the burgeoning fields of healthcare and pharmaceuticals, contributing significantly to clinical trials and drug development. The financial and insurance sectors value their proficiency in risk assessment, while technology companies and startups are increasingly reliant on their skills for data optimization and algorithm development.
