Our MSc Applied Statistics has been specially designed to meet the personal and career development needs of people who want to continue working, or gain valuable interning experience, while also studying in the evening. Many of our students are involved in data analysis, the interpretation of statistics, the optimal design and control of systems, and the modelling and prediction of time-dependent phenomena. They bring a wealth of knowledge and experience into the classroom, and you’ll find yourself surrounded by committed, enthusiastic students from all backgrounds, careers and cultures. This programme is ideal if you are considering a career move into statistics, or if your work already involves aspects of data collection and exploration, the interpretation of statistics, or the modelling and forecasting of time-dependent phenomena.

The course covers both the theory and the application of modern statistical and mathematical modelling techniques to applied problems in industry, public services, commerce and research. It proceeds from a strong theoretical background, but it is practically oriented to develop your ability to tackle new and non-standard problems confidently. The mutual dependence of practice and theory is emphasised throughout the course.

Course programme

COURSE STRUCTURE

You take two core modules which provide a broad education and training in statistics. You then choose four 15-credit option modules which allow you to orient your studies towards your own particular interests and career objectives. You will then graduate with one of the following depending on your choice of modules:

  • MSc Applied Statistics
  • MSc Applied Statistics and Computational Data Analytics (Bayesian Methods and Computational Statistics are compulsory)
  • MSc Applied Statistics and Operational Research (Linear and Nonlinear Optimization and Stochastic Systems and Simulation or Stochastic Models and Forecasting are compulsory)

You also complete a project (60 credits), a sustained, independent investigation involving the application of statistical techniques to a specific problem.

Alternatively you may wish to graduate with a Postgraduate Certificate in Applied Statistics after completing the core modules only.
