MSc Medical Statistics

... United Kingdom
... University of Leicester

Course Overview

This postgraduate degree will give you all the expertise you need to become a practicing medical statistician. You will cover all relevant theories but emphasize understanding, applying, and adapting them to real-life circumstances. Your analysis skills will be developed on real medical data sets using statistical software such as Stata, R, SAS, and WinBUGS.

An essential factor in the success of a practicing statistician is the ability to communicate with others. To develop these skills, you will work on two mini-projects and be introduced to consultancy skills throughout the course. The mini-projects involve analyzing data from real problems and data sets and presenting a report on the findings.

Your choice of option module allows you to specialize in one particular area:

  • If you choose to study the 'Genetic Epidemiology' option module, your degree will be an MSc in Medical Statistics with a specialization in Genetic Epidemiology

  • If you choose to study the 'Health Technology Assessment' option module, your degree will be an MSc in Medical Statistics with a specialization in Health Technology Assessment.

  • If you choose to study the 'Further Topics in Medical Statistics' option module, your degree will be an MSc in Medical Statistics.
