Course Overview

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 modeling and prediction of time-dependent phenomena. They bring a wealth of knowledge and experience into the classroom, and youll find yourself surrounded by committed, enthusiastic students from all backgrounds, careers, and cultures. This program 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 modeling and forecasting of time-dependent phenomena. The course covers both the theory and the application of modern statistical and mathematical modeling techniques to applied problems in the 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 emphasized throughout the course. Graduates can pursue careers in data collection, research, analysis, modeling, and forecasting. Possible professions include statistician, operational researcher, or research scientist (maths). This degree may also be useful in becoming a forensic statistician or higher education lecturer.
