Study Details: MSc 1 year full-time
Our Statistics MSc will provide you with the essential knowledge and skills for a career as a professional statistician or researcher.
As the data we generate increases, so does the global demand for analysts who can apply modern statistical methods. On this course, you will develop specific techniques and skills that will enable you to make sense of and harness the power of data and statistics – from techniques in statistics and probability to advanced statistical inference and statistical modelling with machine learning.
For your dissertation, you’ll apply your practical knowledge to solve an industry-relevant problem. With expert guidance from academics in our Statistics and Probability section or one of our industry partners such as Capital One, you’ll see how theory transforms into practice.
With statisticians in high demand across a wide range of industries, you could go on to work in fields such as:
