Our Statistical Modelling degree is a comprehensive and respected qualification,
with a strong grounding in mathematics, and a blend of both theoretical
and practical elements of modern statistics. The main mathematical topics
include algebra; calculus; and real analysis, whilst the main statistics
topics include probability, data analysis, distribution theory, inference,
regression, stochastic processes, sampling,
design of experiments, survival analysis, and time series. The course
is run by Heriot-Watt’s department of
Actuarial Mathematics and Statistics which has a longstanding reputation
as a world leading centre for research in these areas and was the first
of its kind in the UK.
Due to the near universal relevance of statistics, career opportunities exist for statisticians in a wide variety of areas, notably the Civil Service, the pharmaceutical industry, business, insurance, market research, and scientific research in areas such as environmental science.
