Mestrado em Técnicas Estatísticas

The Master in Statistical Techniques (MTE) proposes a broad program, but at the same time compact, which allows to achieve a rigorous training in Statistics and Operations Research, training its graduates to face the needs of today's society, either with a mainly orientation applied and professionalizing, either with a more theoretical and academic orientation. Specifically, the proposed program is intended to provide:

• A training of a scientific-technical nature in the field of Statistics and IO to students who can come from both degrees with basic training in Statistics and IO, as well as technical degrees that allow them to develop an academic activity.
• Applied and interdisciplinary training in Statistics and Operations Research techniques that are valuable in professional practice and thus facilitate their access and integration into the labor market.
• Advanced training that enables interested students to start in research tasks in the area of Statistics and Operations Research, or in others, and that can culminate with the preparation and defense of a doctoral thesis.

University graduates who demonstrate mastery of advanced techniques in Statistics and Operations Research present a profile that is widely in demand today. Furthermore, the expectations of the evolution of this demand are even more promising according to what is reflected in the multitude of reports from national and international institutions and consultancies that coincide in pointing out that this demand will experience significant growth in the short term.
