Study Details: MSc one year full-time; half-time or split-study over two years
The programme trains students from a variety of academic backgrounds to work as statisticians in various sectors including higher education, research institutions, the pharmaceutical industry, central government and national health services. It provides training in the theory and practice of statistics with special reference to clinical trials, epidemiology and clinical or laboratory research.
Medical statisticians play a vital role in creating impact in global health and development. Their job involves the design of local, national, and global clinical studies, analysing data and interpreting results to identify the causes of a given disease, as well as measuring performance outcomes of hospitals and other organisations to gauge the health and wellbeing of populations on a large scale.
There is a shortage of well-trained medical statisticians and graduates from this programme are in high demand; employment opportunities are numerous and varied.
The normal minimum entrance qualification for registration at the School on a Master’s programme is at least one of the following:
Applications with an appropriate technical qualification, or equivalent qualification and experience from overseas, are also welcomed.
For the MSc Medical Statistics it is preferred that students should normally have obtained a mathematically-based first degree which includes some statistics. Graduates from other fields who have quantitative skills and some familiarity with statistical ideas may also apply.
Any student who does not meet the minimum entry requirement above but who has relevant professional experience may still be eligible for admission. Qualifications and experience will be assessed from the application.
As part of the admissions process all suitable applicants will be invited to interview. Applicants who live overseas will be offered a Skype or telephone interview and those who live in the UK will be invited to the School. We are also happy to interview UK applicants by Skype or telephone if preferred, due to work or study commitments.
