This course is for graduates working with statistics in a business environment who wish to extend their knowledge and take a postgraduate qualification in statistics, but whose first degree is in another discipline.

Normally your first degree should contain some mathematics or statistics such as economics, business and accounting.

The course produces management statisticians with a strong background in the methodology and theory of statistics who can apply these in a business and finance context.

While we cover all necessary theory, we emphasise throughout the course applying and adapting statistics to business-related problems.

You study a wide range of core modules that deal with theoretical and practical statistical topics. You also choose from optional modules that allow you to tailor your studies to your interests.

The main feature of this route is its distance learning delivery. This flexible style of learning makes it ideal to fit in with your working life and other commitments.
