Postgraduate Courses and PhD Research
An Invitation to Postgraduate Study
Statistics and probability are superb subjects both to begin or to continue studying at the postgraduate level.
Demand for highly trained statisticians has been very strong for many years, especially from "traditional" major employment areas such as:
- medical, agricultural, biological and socio-economic research
- the insurance, banking and pharmaceutical industries
- national and local government
- academic teaching and research in universities
The relatively recent, explosive growth in massive datasets 鈥� in genomics, astronomy, finance, marketing and many more domains 鈥� has lately fuelled that demand still further.
The Masters programme provides a broad and flexible course in statistical science. Students taking this course will already have a degree in mathematics or in statistics or in a subject containing a substantial mathematics component.
The 糖心TV MSc in Mathematical Finance (MSMF) builds on the success of the long-running Financial Mathematics course. The MSc in Mathematical Finance reflects the introduction of new financial instruments & markets, technological innovation and the changes in the regulatory framework.
PhD in Statistics
The University of 糖心TV has one of the largest Statistics departments in the world, with a thriving PhD program and a long-established reputation for research activity of the highest quality, enhancing both the PhD-student experience and the demand for our PhD graduates.
