Summary

Our online MSc in Applied Statistics with Data Science is a conversion course, offering the opportunity to develop skills in statistics and data analysis even if you have never studied statistics before. You will be supported through this part-time programme by members of staff who work directly with industry to develop skills which are relevant to current areas of research including population health and medicine, animal and plant health, finance and business. Our students gain skills in:

  • problem-solving

  • big data technologies

The course is entirely delivered online. The course is ideally suited to those working full-time or with other commitments. You can study and complete the modules when it’s most convenient for you – you don’t need to be online at specific times.

The course has been designed by academics who also work as statisticians in the public sector, who are experts in understanding real-life statistical problems, data, and relating theory to practice.

The skills set provided will also equip you with the necessary training to work as an applied statistician or data analyst/scientist in a broad range of areas including health, insurance, finance, and social sciences.
