PROGRAMME STRUCTURE
YEAR 1
You will take courses covering topics in probability and introductory statistical methods with examples and case studies illustrating how statistics is used in practice in the real world

You will also study other subjects in 1 and 2

YEAR 2
You will take four courses covering topics in statistical methods and probability introducing the ideas of likelihood and regression modelling

You will also study other subjects in 1 and 2 see Flexible degrees

YEARS 3 4 AND 5
If you proceed to Honours 3 and 4 you will study theory and practical training which involves project planning report writing and the development of presentational skills

You will also complete case studies and projects on topics which may be drawn from the fields of bioinformatics environmental studies medicine psychology sports science and veterinary science

You will undertake and present a project and write a report You will also gain experience in teamwork and learn to use statistical packages as well as gaining appreciation of the use and misuse of computers and computer software in statistics

There is also an opportunity to take an degree over five which explores statistics topics in greater depth and includes an individually supervised research project

If you proceed to Honours 3 and 4 you will study theory and practical training which involves project planning report writing and the development of presentational skills General topics covered across courses include probability modelling design inference Bayesian methodology and a range of applications including biostatistics environmental statistics and financial statistics

You will also complete case studies and projects on topics which may be drawn from the fields of bioinformatics environmental studies medicine psychology sports science and veterinary science

One important feature of project activities is a presentation You will give a talk describing your project problem your analyses and results This along with writing a report in non-technical language provides you with two important transferable skills You will also gain experience in teamwork and learn to use statistical packages as well as gaining appreciation of the use and misuse of computers and computer software in statistics

There is also an opportunity to take an degree over five which explores statistics topics in greater depth and includes an individually supervised research project
