Profile
This one-year program offers broad and high-level training in both applied and computational statistics as well as in the foundations of statistical theory. You will gain solid knowledge in statistical methods and hone your skills to critically analyse and interpret data, and to communicate the results of your analysis. You can choose from a variety of elective courses in Statistics or Mathematical Statistics to tailor your degree. The program is offered by Umeå School of Business, Economics and Statistics.During the first semester, you will learn statistical programming, a very important skill for a statistician or data scientist. The second half of the semester, you will learn how to infer the effects of treatments/interventions, both in randomized and observational (e.g., register based) studies when you take the course in causal inference. The teachers on this course are all recognized researchers within the field of causal inference. Parallel to these two courses, that are given on haft-time, you tailor your degree by choosing among a selection of elective courses.The second semesterDuring the second semester, you will develop your writing, analysis and research skills through writing a master’s thesis. The master’s thesis course is given on half-time during the whole semester and parallel to this course you take optional courses.Optional courses during the second semester can be a course in any subject, incl. Statistics and Mathematical Statistics, as long as you meet the eligibility requirements. Optional courses are applied for in open competition.Elective coursesThe choice of electives the first semester is made after a discussion with the program coordinator or the study advisor after you have received information about admission to the program. You are guaranteed a place on elective courses equivalent of full-time studies, but there is no guarantee of first choice. Moreover, some of the electives require specific Mathematics courses or proficiency in Swedish (if the course is given in Swedish), which might limit your choices. The elective courses available this year are listed below together with the required knowledge for entry.
