The goal of the MA Statistics is to train the new generation of data scientists, by empowering them with a broad range of skills in statistics and machine learning. Once completed, the MA Statistics brings students to the same level as the MSc Statistical Data Science: the degrees are equivalent. However, differently from the 1-year MSc Statistical Data Science, the MA Statistics is 16 months long, and it includes several fundamental statistics modules in its core structure. These modules cover the fundamentals of statistics and data science, and prepare students for more advanced modules.
The MA Statistics programme is aimed at students who have an undergraduate degree in a discipline with numerate skills, and who have covered some basic topics of statistics.
The MA Statistics is an EMOS (European Master in Official Statistics) labelled programme, which means that some students may have the opportunity to take modules and a project on official statistics, and potentially receive the EMOS certification of their degree. The EMOS MA Statistics also includes a research module, which is provided in the form of an internship at an institution whose work involves official statistics. The MA Statistics is the only EMOS accredited programme in Ireland and it is ideal for students that are interested in pursuing a career in official statistics, in Ireland or abroad.
The MA Statistics is ideal for students interested in data science careers in industry, business, government, and to those interested in pursuing a subsequent PhD in statistics or other areas related to data science.
