Program details

Overview

Applied Statistics is a master's programme leading to the MAS degree, worth 90 ECTS and organised over one and a half years. A thesis of 30 ECTS forms part of the total, and the remaining credits are taken as coursework. The MAS qualification does not lead directly into doctoral study, so it is best seen as a professional master's degree. Graduates who want to move in that direction can apply to take additional courses in theoretical statistics, which would allow them to obtain the MS degree in Statistics instead. Admission requires an undergraduate degree from a recognised university. Applicants whose first language is not English show their proficiency through TOEFL or IELTS results, and they are asked to include a short motivation letter and two letters of recommendation.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: A Bachelor's degree from a recognised university. Applicants whose native language is not English must supply TOEFL (79) or IELTS (6.5) results. A one-page letter of motivation is required, giving the applicant's reasons for graduate work, academic goals and an outline for a final paper, along with two letters of recommendation from faculty members or others who know the applicant's academic work.
