What will you study on the MSc Applied Statistics?

You’ll gain a thorough understanding of mathematical and statistical concepts and techniques and how to apply them to data sets. You’ll develop an advanced knowledge of probability, distributions, inference and stochastic processes, statistical modelling and methods of analysis, and will work on highly technical problems both independently and as part of a team. You’ll learn how to obtain different types of data from a variety of sources, including electronic databases; analyse it using programming and computer packages; and compare and choose between different methods of modelling and analysis. The course also covers big data, and the use of both small samples and big data to make judgments about large populations.
