Doctor of Philosophy - PhD
Summary
This programme offers the chance to undertake a substantial piece of work that is worthy of publication and which makes an original contribution to a chosen research area. Our core areas of research are data science, social statistics, time series and statistical learning, as well as probability and risk management in insurance and finance. We enjoy close links with other departments and offer regular seminars and other departmental activities that help create a vibrant environment for study and research. We also have close links with the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries and industrial partners.
Students will benefit from a thriving, hardworking, friendly and supportive environment in which their interests can be pursued.
We have reserved computing resources (including networked departmental workstations exclusively for the use of research students) and an extensive collection of software – both commercial packages and in-house products for our students. There is a comprehensive assembly of worldwide official statistics. The Department has a dedicated library with statistical journals and books available.
The first year of study includes a selection of PhD courses to consolidate and further mastery of contemporary statistics foundations, while our research students build up a more solid research idea before presenting at an annual PhD presentation event.
From year two onwards, our research students are also encouraged to undertake some teaching, which is a valuable experience and an integral part of training. The Department provides funding to facilitate student attendance at appropriate academic conferences wherever possible.

Summary
This programme offers the chance to undertake a substantial piece of work that is worthy of publication and which makes an original contribution to the field of statistics. You will begin on the MPhil, and will need to meet certain requirements to be upgraded to PhD status.
Our core areas of research are data science, social statistics, time series and statistical learning, as well as probability and risk management in insurance and finance. We enjoy close links with other departments and offer regular seminars and other departmental activities that help to create a vibrant environment for study and research. We also have close links with the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries and industrial partners.
Graduate study of statistics is often vocational, though no progress can be made without a lively intellectual interest in both the methodological principles of statistical modelling and practical applications. You will benefit from a thriving, hardworking, friendly and supportive environment in which your interests can be pursued.
You will be supported by reserved computing resources (including networked departmental workstations exclusively for the use of research students) and an extensive collection of software – both commercial packages and in-house products. Additionally you will have access to a good collection of research monographs and journals and you may access databases of research information. There is a comprehensive assembly of worldwide official statistics. The Department has a dedicated library with statistical journals and books available to you.

MSc
Summary
The MSc in Statistics provides intensive training in statistics applicable to the social sciences, economics and finance.
The aim of the programme is to foster an interest in theoretical and applied statistics and equip you for work as a professional statistician. This degree offers students who enjoy statistics the opportunity to build on their interests and learn how to apply their knowledge in the real world by analysing and critically interpreting data, building statistical models of real situations, and using cutting edge programming tools and software packages.
The compulsory course will provide you with comprehensive coverage of fundamental aspects of probability and statistical methods and principles. It provides the foundations for the optional courses on more advanced statistical modelling, computational methods and advanced probability theory. Options also include specialist courses from the Departments of Methodology, Mathematics, Economics and Social Policy. Below are some indicative pathways:
- Statistics route with a broad area of applications such as economics, research methodology and social sciences
- Route tailored towards computational statistics, machine learning and data science
- Route towards applications of statistics to econometrics and finance
You may also be interested in the 12-month research stream of this programme, MSc in Statistics (Research), which includes a dissertation component.
