Beschreibung des Programms

Why this course?

Our course is run by academics who work in the health sector as well as in higher education. Statisticians from the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA), an Executive Agency of the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) as well as those who have extensive experience in working with the National Health Service (NHS) in Scotland, will provide lectures based around real-life problems and data from the health sciences.

The course is entirely delivered online. The course is ideally suited to those working full-time or with other commitments. You can study and complete the modules when it’s most convenient for you – you don’t need to be online at specific times.

Although the program is focused on health, the skill set provided will also equip you with the necessary training to work as an applied statistician in other areas such as insurance, finance, and commerce.

You can also study the MSc in Applied Statistics in Health Sciences full-time on campus.
