Statistics: Master of Arts (MA) at University of Victoria in Victoria, Canada is a master's degree in Applied Mathematics & Statistics programme. The programme runs for 2 years, delivered on campus. Teaching is in English. Tuition for international students is CAD 2,857 per semester (CAD 2,265 per semester for local students).
This on-campus MA can be completed via thesis or a non-thesis project over roughly two years, with faculty research concentrated in bioinformatics, biostatistics, and statistical ecology alongside partnerships such as the Vancouver Island Health Authority. Graduates learn to collect and analyze economic, environmental, demographic, and health data, spot trends, design data-collection processes, and communicate findings to non-specialist audiences. As of this page, the department is not accepting new applications to the MA and directs prospective students to the MSc in Statistics instead. The MA is delivered full-time and on-campus with an optional co-op term, and, as with the MSc, a supervisor is allocated to each admitted student rather than arranged by the applicant beforehand, though the closure to new applications means this mainly describes the experience of students already enrolled.

Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through EducationPlannerBC, which opens for 2027-entry applications on 1 October 2026: most degree programmes see September 2027 entry close 31 January 2027, January 2027 entry close 30 September 2026, and Summer 2027 entry close 31 March 2027, though Teacher Education post-degree programmes close 2 January 2027, Indigenous Education post-degree admits on an ongoing basis, and Engineering's Summer entry (high-school graduates only) closes 31 December 2026. International applicants use the same portal and face identical dates, since UVic publishes no separate international deadline. UVic treats these as fixed annual dates rather than rolling admission, though it warns any programme can close early without notice. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
