Double degree offered by Stats&Maths

There are 5 positions available each  year for the joint double degree programme. In order to be admitted to the double degree programme (reserved to Stats&Maths students) one must satisfy the criteria listed in the attachment “Double degree selection criteria”. The selection is based on the achievements of the students during the three semesters of the programme and it is carried out at the end of the first semester of the second year, in correspondence of the Erasmus selection period. The list of all possible destinations (including Glasgow) is usually published between January and February of each academic year on AlmaRM. A number of meetings will be scheduled during the second year of course to provide students with useful information on scholarships, application procedures and the general rules of the exchange.

The exchange takes place between September and May/June (9 months) of the third (and last) year of the programme.

Here is an updated list of the courses that the students will attend in Glasgow:

• Introducing to R Programming – 5 ECTS
• Linear Mixed Models – 5 ECTS
• Flexible Regression – 5 ECTS
• Advanced Bayesian Methods – 5 ECTS
• Stochastic Processes – 5 ECTS
• Advanced Data Analysis – 5 ECTS

• Design of Experiment – 5 ECTS
• Spatial Statistics – 5 ECTS
• Statistical Genetics – 5 ECTS
• Functional Data Analysis – 5 ECTS

During this year abroad students will also write their final thesis (Statistics Project), thus acquiring a total amount of 60 ECTS corresponding to the 60 CFU they would have to acquire in Bologna.
