About the MPhil/PhD programme

We conduct research in data science, social statistics, time series and statistical learning, and probability and risk management in insurance and finance.

The Department is home to internationally respected experts in statistics and data science. Maintaining and advancing our leading reputation for teaching and research is our top priority. We offer a vibrant research environment and a comprehensive programme of undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. The Department has grown in recent years, especially in the area of data science which is a key priority for education and research in the LSE2030 strategy. We aim to play a leading role in fostering the study of data science and new forms of data, with a focus on its social, economic, and political aspects.
