Master in Applied Probability and Statistics

This minor gives a solid basis in probability and statistics for applied research. It addresses modern challenges such as regression for correlated data, missing values, event and longitudinal data analysis, and model selection and validation. Application areas include evidence-based medicine and genetics, financial mathematics, environmental science and infection epidemiology. The minor prepares students to interpret statistical analyses, plan experiments, and recognise when external expertise is needed. It serves as a route into Biostatistics, Evolutionary Language Science or Quantitative Finance.
