Profile
Statistics is both a formal science and a practical approach, and both aspects are taken into account in the programme. The goal of the Master Programme in Statistics is to prepare you well for skilled jobs, and for continuing graduate studies.The programme begins with courses in Probability and Inference. These will consolidate and deepen the theoretical understanding of randomness and how to draw conclusions from data that contains random variation.The theory oriented courses will provide a strong foundation in basic statistical theory that is later used in the more applied courses.In the applied courses, you will learn how to use statistical techniques to deal with important real world problems. Obtained skills are collecting, processing and analysing data, interpreting and presenting results and empirical models.Since the courses span over several areas such as biostatistics, econometrics, and structural equation models, there are numerous opportunities to specialise, depending on your interests.Examples of courses offered are:Econometrics, Epidemiology, Generalised Linear Models, Non-parametric Methods, Planning and Analysis of Clinical Trials, Statistical Programming in Structural Equation Models, Survival Analysis, and Repeated Measurements.For example, the course Econometrics deals with statistical methods for the analysis of economic data and the estimation of theoretical economic models. Based on this analysis, relevant questions can be answered, e.g. what is the effect of a tax change, what is the return on education, etc.In the course Survival Analysis, you will learn how to estimate the effect of a new medicine on survival time. These methods are moreover the same as those used to study the effects of labour market policies with regard to the time period an individual is unemployed. A good example of how useful statistical methods are in general!
