The PhD in Statistics is offered by Western University's Department of Statistical and Actuarial Sciences within the Faculty of Science, spanning the department's three fields of Statistics, Actuarial Science and Financial Modelling. It is a full-time, thesis-based doctoral programme structured over 12 terms of study, equivalent to approximately four years. Students complete advanced coursework alongside original research, culminating in a doctoral dissertation defended before a supervisory committee, working under faculty in one of the department's three fields. Entry typically requires a Master of Science with sufficient background in statistics, actuarial science or financial modelling; direct entry from an Honours undergraduate degree may be considered only under exceptional circumstances. International applicants whose first language is not English must meet the university's standard graduate English-language proficiency requirements, satisfied through tests such as IELTS, TOEFL or CAEL. Application deadlines differ for domestic and international applicants. Graduates pursue research and applied careers in statistics, actuarial science, financial modelling and related quantitative fields across academia, government and industry.
