Statistics

Develop your background knowledge of mathematics, probability and statistical theory, with the opportunity to progress onto the MSc Statistics or MSc Statistics with Medical Applications courses.

Course description

Our Statistics Graduate Certificate is designed for graduates who don't have all the background knowledge for a masters degree in statistics. Students who perform well can progress on to our Statistics MSc or Statistics with Medical Applications MSc.

This nine-month part-time distance learning course runs from late September until early June, with all teaching and exams held online. You'll need to dedicate around 20 hours a week to your studies.

You’ll take three core modules that cover the relevant first-year undergraduate mathematics, and the relevant first and second-year probability and statistical theory.

Progression

An average final mark of approximately 65 per cent on the Graduate Certificate, with at least 60 per cent in each of the three modules, will usually allow you to progress onto the MSc Statistics or MSc Statistics with Medical Applications, provided you meet the University's English language requirements.
