Course summary

The Postgraduate Diploma in Statistical Science is a nine-month taught course, running from October each academic year with a particular focus on modern computationally-intensive theory and methods. It is similar to the MSc in Statistical Science but there is no dissertation. The PGDip aims to train you to solve real-world statistical problems. When completing the course, you should be able to choose an appropriate statistical method to solve a given problem of data analysis, implement the analysis on a computer, and communicate your results clearly and succinctly. The course offers a broad high-level training in applied and computational statistics, statistical machine learning, and the fundamental principles of statistical inference. Training is delivered through mathematically demanding lectures and problems classes, hands-on practical sessions in the computer laboratory and report writing.Students take a mixture of core courses and optional courses. The core courses are compulsory and involve practical components that students must complete.
