This course covers both the theory and application of modern statistical and mathematical modelling techniques required to solve applied problems in industry, the public services, commerce and scientific research; while practically orientated, the degree proceeds from a strong theoretical background so as to develop the ability to tackle new and non-standard problems with confidence; the core courses in the 1st year provide a broad education and training in statistics, while the 2nd year option courses may be chosen to further particular interests and objectives.
Year 1: 2 core modules: probability and stochastic modelling and statistical analysis; these cover statistical inference, probability and distribution theory, statistical modelling and optimal experimental and sample survey design; application of the theory and principles involved in the analysis and modelling of data in a wide range of contexts allows students to gain experience in the use of modern sophisticated statistical computer packages; the 1st year corresponds to the Postgraduate Certificate in Applied Statistics; year 2: 4 options (half-modules) offered from main specialist streams: further applied statistics (e.g. topics in Bayesian statistics, advanced multivariate analysis, mixed models, medical statistics); operational research (e.g. topics in optimisation, forecasting and stochastic methods of operational research); stochastic processes and financial applications (with particular emphasis on applications in mathematical finance and dynamic asset pricing); computer-intensive statistical methods (e.g. simulation and simulation-based inference, re-sampling methods, smoothing, kernel density estimation, statistical data mining; project (double module).

The decision to go Birkbeck was the best of my life! Having started out studying with the OU, I felt it was important to get practical, hands-on experience and to be able to interact with experts and other students. Birkbeck had all the adv...more
I enjoyed this course very much. The lecturers were very interesting and really helpful and i think helped us all in the class if we wanted it. Birkbeck is a great place to study....more
