专业简介
The Master of Science (MSc) is a two-year degree which encompasses both coursework and research. The first year involves mainly coursework and preliminary research preparation. Students will have the opportunity to contribute to existing fields of research, or to begin to develop new areas.
Statistics as a field of study is concerned with the collection, analysis and interpretation of numerical data. The main emphasis is on the role of random variation in observations that are made, which is why statistical theory is built on the concepts of probability.
Although the study of statistics in any depth requires some proficiency in algebra and calculus, it is not just another branch of mathematics. The use of statistical methods requires skills in problem formulation, computing and the assessment of evidence that are not always closely related to mathematical ability. Furthermore, a key ingredient for being a successful statistician is the ability to communicate complex ideas to other people in written and verbal reports.
Students study Statistics as their major subject because they:
are looking for a practical and useful application of their mathematical abilities, with good employment prospects
would like to work with researchers, in a wide range or disciplines, in solving important problems
want a job which involves them in contributing to policy or management decisions for government or private industry
have a concern for social or environmental issues and want to use their skills in biological, environmental or medical research.
