MSc in MEDICAL STATISTICS
University of Leicester, UK
Around 12 studentships are available for entry in Oct 2007 worth up to
£13,000 + UK/EU fees
Based within the Medical School at the University of Leicester, this well
established and successful one year full-time or two-three years part-time
course is intended mainly for students with a good honours degree of which
mathematics/statistics is the main subject, and with a working knowledge
of basic probability and statistics, but other suitable applicants will be
considered.
The orientation of the course is applied and vocational; it aims to
produce graduates who can immediately work as medical statisticians in
pharmaceutical companies, research units and the NHS or continue onto a
PhD. While all necessary theory is covered, the emphasis throughout is on
applying and adapting it to real-life circumstances. The analysis of real
data sets plays a large part in the course and the central role of IT is
constantly emphasised. Excellent computing facilities are available.
Practical work makes extensive use of standard statistical packages,
including SAS, Stata and WinBUGS.
