The Master of Statistics (MStat) programme emphasises the applications of statistical techniques across various fields to formulate strategies with greater clarity and accuracy, ultimately leading to enhanced operational efficiency and effectiveness. Students learn to examine, translate, and classify data, with a focus on pinpointing the most critical areas and implications suggested by the data for effective problem-solving and decision-making. The programme covers, in particular, extensive analysis of structured or unstructured data using different techniques and tools, including but not limited to spatial data analysis, advanced statistical inference, big data analytics, marketing analytics, data mining techniques, statistical software such as SAS, R and Python, etc.
