The programme, with its double qualification, teaches you how to transform data into useful information for supporting decision-making processes in companies and public institutions. It is split into three specialised tracks: data science, official statistics, and health and socio-demographic phenomena. It's accredited by the Royal Statistical Society and the European Statistical System Committee.

What will you study?

In the courses common to the three pathways, you will study advanced topics in the fields of mathematics, probability and statistics. Other courses include survival analysis, machine learning techniques, methods for analysing big data, and official socio-economic and health statistics. Statistical software plays a particularly important role in this programme.

Experiences abroad

The programme includes study mobility schemes within the framework of the Erasmus + and Overseas exchanges, as well as internships and scholarships for thesis completion abroad. If you follow the Data Science pathway, you can spend a semester at Università della Svizzera Italiana (USI) and obtain a degree in Computational Science from USI.
