Course Summary

This programme moves on from traditional statistics degrees, providing modernised modules that meet the needs of industry today. You will be taught to harness the power of data and statistics in addition to learning analysis tools such as R and Python. The knowledge and skills you learn will provide you with a platform to work across a variety of industries, go into research or undertake a PhD.

  • Become highly employable in the field of statistics across a variety of industries, including Big Pharma, Big Tech, clinical trials, psychology and Government agencies.
  • Learn from academic experts across a number of fields such as statistics, finance and data analytics.
  • Learn analysis tools such as R and Python.
  • Opportunity to undertake an applied summer dissertation project.

What you'll study

You will learn the core fundamentals of statistics and machine learning, together with the relevant software. You will also learn about applications of these methods in areas such as business, biostatistics, medical statistics and survey sampling. This programme is delivered across three semesters.

During the third semester, over the summer, you will work on a research project which will allow you to develop strong applied data science research skills.

Modules

The module aims to provide students with a solid understanding of the theory and applications of the General Linear Models as used in modern Statistical Applications. This framework of models consists of a generalisation of linear regression that includes more general response variables such as binary, multinomial, ordinal, Poisson random variables amongst others where the underlying parameters or a function of them depend in linear fashion of the input variables. The module will provide an introduction to the basic techniques in these advanced topics. Including a review of linear and logistic regression and will progress onto how this model can be extended to more general random variables.
