Course Summary

Course Description

Statistics is an exciting subject with a rapidly increasing uptake in industry, commerce, government and academia. More and more professions, from the everyday to the exotic, depend on data and numerical reasoning. Data are not just numbers, but numbers that carry information about a specific setting and need to be interpreted within that setting. With the growth in the use of data comes a growing demand for the services of statisticians, although, as stated by the Royal Statistical Society, there is a lack of statisticians across all areas of applications in the UK and internationally. The need is especially pronounced in the finance, insurance and pharmaceutical industries. To help meet the demand for well trained statisticians, the School of Computing Sciences, in close collaboration with the School of Medicine and the School of Economics, offers a 1-year MSc in Statistics. Students will have the ability to choose specialist pathways out of medical, finance/insurance or knowledge discovery. The programme will prepare you for employment across a range of industries and for further education through a PhD in order to pursue a career in industrial or academic research.
