MSc in MEDICAL STATISTICS, University of Leicester
http://www.le.ac.uk/goto/medstats
Are you interested in a stimulating and rewarding career in Medical Statistics?
The MSc in Medical Statistics at Leicester offers full-time and part-time study options and is a well established and successful course based in the College of Medicine, Biological Sciences and Psychology.
The orientation of the course is applied and vocational; it aims to produce graduates who can immediately work as medical statisticians in research organisations, clinical trials units, the pharmaceutical industry, universities and the NHS or undertake a PhD. Demand for well qualified statisticians in these settings is still strong.
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, as too does communication skills (both written and oral) and the central role of statistical software in implementing modern statistical methods is constantly emphasised. Practical work makes extensive use of standard statistical packages, including Stata, SAS, R, MLwiN and WinBUGS. Options are available to enable students to specialise in the areas of Modern (Genetic) Epidemiology and Health Technology Assessment.
Part-time study involves attendance at seven week-long blocks per year for two years and a project over a third year.
We are looking for students with a good honours degree of which mathematics/statistics is the main subject though applicants with other backgrounds will be considered. The course is awarded a number of studentships and applicants will be considered by the course admissions team for these studentships.
