Taught
Statistics is one of the most important fields of study in the world. The techniques we use to model and manipulate data guide the political, financial, and social decisions that shape our modern society. If you are a logical person and enjoy solving problems, statistics at Essex is for you.
Our Department of Mathematical Sciences embraces pure mathematics, applied mathematics and statistics, and operational research, and our course offers you the opportunity to study statistics alongside other mathematical subjects.
Providing a balance of solid statistical theory and practical application, this course builds your knowledge in all areas of statistics, data analysis and probability.
Our interdisciplinary research recognises that mathematics, including what can be very abstract mathematics, is an essential part of research in many other disciplines.
Our department has an international reputation in many areas including semi-group theory, optimisation, probability, applied statistics, bioinformatics, and mathematical biology.
Your future
Working in industries such as health, business, social care and finance, graduates are consistently in demand, working on projects such as efficacy of social policy, comparable data of cardiac rehabilitation and manipulation of raw data for academic research.
Our Masters graduates have progressed into careers in banking and finance, actuarial sciences, biological sciences, market research and statistics, management and consultancy, the online betting industry and work as data scientists.
We also offer supervision for PhD, MPhil, and MSc by Dissertation. We have an international reputation in many areas such as semi-group theory, optimisation, probability, applied statistics, bioinformatics and mathematical biology, and our staff are strongly committed to research and to the promotion of graduate activities.
