MSc Statistics with Data Analytics
Course overview
The MSc Statistics with Data Analytics course at Brunel University London teaches students to become statisticians who are good at data analysis. It combines new ways of using statistics with important computer skills needed to handle large and complicated sets of data. The course trains students in statistical methods, using computers for statistics, and how to look at data from different areas, such as money (finance) and health.
Students will work on real-world problems using case studies. This helps them learn to check data and explain statistical models so people can make good choices. Students will learn in different ways, including attending lessons, small group classes on campus, computer lab sessions, and discussion groups. Students can also find learning materials online. Their work will be checked through assignments and tests, like written reports, group projects, presentations, and computer coding tasks. This makes sure students fully understand the course material.
Entry requirements
Applicants need to send in a personal statement. In this statement, they should explain why they want to study the course and include other important details about their education. They also need a reference, which can be from a teacher or an employer. Students can choose to include their CVs with their applications to show any work experience they have.
Grade Requirements:
- To apply, applicants need at least a second-class undergraduate degree (which is a 2:2 or higher) from a UK university. If the degree is from another country, it needs to be of similar standing. The degree should be in a subject that involves a lot of numbers and includes enough statistics. Good examples of these subjects are Mathematics, Statistics, Economics, and Actuarial Science.
- Or, if the applicant's education is in a different area or they have work experience that's related, the university might still consider the application. They'll look at what the applicant has done individually to decide.
English Proficiency:
- Applicants who are from a country where English is not the main language need to show they can speak and understand English well. This usually means getting an IELTS score of at least 6.5 overall with a minimum of 6.0 in each part of the IELTS test.
- They can also send scores from other official English tests, such as SELT. If there's a need for a Tier 4 visa to study in the UK, they must take specific versions of these tests, like IELTS for UKVI or Trinity SELT.
