The Master's Degree in Biostatistics arises from the growing need for professionals trained to research, manage and analyze data in the field of biostatistics, experts who, regardless of their academic background, will develop their professional or research activity focusing on the use of statistical tools in the Health and Life Sciences. The rise and the important contribution that Statistics provides in research in areas related to Health and Life, motivated by the rapid progress that these disciplines have also experienced, entails a greater demand for specialization. A broad biostatistical training is essential to guarantee an adequate and valid planning of experiments and research, a rigorous treatment of the information obtained through the data and a critical attitude towards the results of scientific publications. Both the public administration (official public health agencies, research centers, hospitals,...) and the private sector (pharmaceutical industry, research institutes, consulting companies,...) have been showing a clear interest in integrating work teams of biostatistical professionals. From the academic field, universities and scientific societies of recognized prestige express the need to establish postgraduate programs that favor the training of biostatisticians. Therefore, this master's is oriented towards methodological training, research and the application of statistical tools to Biology, Medicine, Veterinary Medicine, Pharmacy and in general to all fields related to Health and Life Sciences.

Admission Requirements

If you come from an EU country you must have a bachelor's degree from a Spanish university, or from a university in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). 

If you are a graduate from outside the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) you can access the university without the need to officially certify your degree, once the UCM has verified that your level of studies is equivalent to a bachelor's degree at a university in Spain. Access via this route does not in any case imply the official certification of your degree prior to starting your Masters course.
