The BA and MMath Mathematics and Statistics combine the strengths of the traditional Oxford Mathematics degrees with the ability to pursue probability and statistics in depth. If you are interested in studying how we can use data and what the applications of mathematics and statistics are to the world we live in, this is the course for you.
We offer two Master's degree courses: the MSc Statistical Science, and Oxford Masters in Mathematical Sciences (OMMS).
Statistical Science has a particular focus on modern computationally-intensive theory and methods and will aim to train you to solve real-world statistical problems.
OMMS provides a broad and flexible training in the mathematical sciences, and gives students with a keen interest in the mathematical sciences the chance to study a selection of our interesting and varied master’s level courses.
We offer a DPhil in Statistics as well as admitting students to the CDTs in STATML, Mathematics of Random Systems, Sustainable Approaches to Biomedical Science, and Health Data Science Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT).
This one-year course is delivered by lecturers from different statistical and applied backgrounds. Students could take this year to enrich their theoretical understanding in statistics, probability, and simulations, or combining with applications in biology, machine learning, and many other scientific areas. In addition to the lectures and classes, students would also be given four chances to write short research reports based on data-centric problems, also known as the "practical", which at least for me enhances my computing and report-writing skills.
