Course Summary

Statistics is the study of the collection, analysis, interpretation, presentation and organisation of data. Statistical analysis and data analytics is listed as one of the highly desirable skills employers are looking for, and with data becoming an ever increasing part of modern life, the talent to extract information and value from complex data is scarce. The new Statistics and Data Analytics MSc is designed to train the next generation of statisticians with a focus on the field of data analytics. Employers expect skills in both statistics and computing. This masters programme will provide a unique and coherent blend of modern statistical methods together with the associated computational skills that are essential for handling large quantities of unstructured data. This programme offers training in modern statistical methodology, computational statistics and data analysis from a wide variety of fields, including financial and health sectors.Careers and your futureBy the end of this programme youll have acquired an advanced level of statistical knowledge and data analytical skills. This will allow you to work as an independent expert within a multidisciplinary team that designs, performs, analyses and reports about applied scientific research. Youll be equipped to pursue a career in data science, the financial sector or the health sector. Areas you might be interested in could include big processing companies (Accenture, Oracle Corporation), the financial sector (JP Morgan), pharmaceuticals (GSK), government agencies (the Office of National Statistics) and data science departments within universities.

Modules

This module aims to equip students with the basic measure-theoretic and probabilistic concepts and techniques needed for them to be able to apply the modern mathematical theory of finance, and to enable students to use methods of stochastic calculus based on Brownian motion in such a way that they are able to carry out the necessary mathematical manipulations and calculations required for use and critical assessment of the various financial models introduced in other modules of the programme.
