This master's programme trains biostatisticians to analyze biomedical and population-health data and to support epidemiological research. Coursework covers statistical methods, probability, linear models and large-dataset analysis techniques applied to medicine, pharmaceutical research and public health. The programme totals 45 credits, with normal completion over four full-time sessions (two years); up to 16 credits may be recognized from prior graduate-level coursework. It is a course-based programme built around three applied stage courses that culminate in a written report rather than a thesis. Most courses are taught on campus, though some are offered at a distance, in hybrid format, or comodally; the programme itself must be completed full-time. It leads to a Master of Science in biostatistics, preparing graduates for statistical roles in biomedical research, pharmaceutical companies, government health agencies and academic settings.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:2.67 / 4.33
Admission Requirements: Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree in a quantitative discipline such as statistics, mathematics, actuarial science, computer science, engineering or economic sciences, or an equivalent diploma, with prior coursework in probability, statistics, mathematics and linear models.
