Do you have an undergraduate degree in mathematics, statistics or operational research? Are you interested in a career which lets you use your advanced mathematical understanding in your daily job? Would you like to study in one of the UK's leading statistics departments? If you answer yes to all of these questions, then our MSc Statistics is for you! By successfully completing the programme you will join our existing alumni who can be found working in both the private and public sectors, helping to find solutions to medical, scientific, industrial and social challenges.
Why Lancaster? The MSc Statistics programme is the perfect blend of mathematical theory with real-world application. Over 12 months you will develop an advanced statistical skillset and understanding, with multiple opportunities to put what you learn into practice. Upon graduating, you will be ideally placed to pursue a career as a statistician or to apply for a PhD programme. Whatever your final destination, our graduates can be confident in their mathematical understanding and the analytical, programming, and critical-thinking skills that they have gained during their time with us. Our MSc Statistics is the product of almost 25 years of experience in delivering top-quality training to graduates of undergraduate programmes in mathematics and statistics. The programme is carefully structured to provide a progressive learning experience.
  • In the first term, our students develop and strengthen their core knowledge and skills in classical and modern statistical methods and inference. Topics covered include frequentist and Bayesian inference, generalised linear models, statistical programming and communication.
  • In the second term, students select from a set of advanced specialist modules. These modules, which vary in their balance between theory, methods and application, cover a wide variety of statistical topics. Students are supported in selecting modules that best reflect their own interests and career aspirations.
  • In the third and final term, our students undertake an individual project. These projects are tailored to the interests and needs of the individual student: some may use them to progress their understanding of a topic covered in a taught module, others to investigate a methodological topic not covered by one of the taught modules, and others to expand their data analysis skills. Regardless of the contents of the project, all students work under the guidance of an experienced statistical researcher, progressing beyond classroom learning to develop a working understanding of statistical methodology and build their confidence in working independently and leading the statistical direction of a project.

Medical Statistics The medical, healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors are one of the largest employers of our graduates. For those interested in a career in one of these areas we recommend our Medical Pathway, taking modules in Clinical Trials, Principles of Epidemiology, Multilevel and Longitudinal Data Analysis and Survival and Event History Analysis.
