The masters will enable you to develop computing skills in using R too. The course can lead to careers in data science, healthcare and the digital economy.

    In the summer you'll complete a dissertation. This will be in collaboration with staff from the school's internationally recognised Statistics and Probability Section, or one of our industry partners, such as
