Applied Statistics with Network Analysis

The comprehensive full-time educational program, delivered entirely in English, comprises a core set of fundamental disciplines alongside the selection of elective courses. This Master’s program is designed for students aiming to develop  their statistical knowledge and credentials by obtaining a graduate degree in Applied Statistics, irrespective of their primary field of study. Whether you come from a background in computer science, social sciences, humanities, our program empowers you to forge a successful career in industries and research fields that are increasingly reliant on data-derived insights. Given the focus of the International Laboratory for Applied Network Research, an emphasis on network analytic methods will further enrich the program's offerings, considering that networks have recently evolved into a popular source of data across various fields. In addition, students also have an opportunity to enroll in a one-year traineeship at the ANR-lab's academic partner organization: University of Ljubljana (Slovenia). The knowledge and skills acquired by graduates of the program will render them adept practitioners capable of applying advanced, intricate data analysis techniques within a range of organizations. This encompasses not only commercial enterprises operating in diverse industries such as banking, insurance, consulting, IT, medicine, and pharmacy but also extends to research institutions encompassing sociology and marketing. This program provides a holistic data analysis approach across different domains. As an integral part of the program, students from varied disciplines can collaborate to solve practical analytical challenges—those inclined towards mathematics can comprehend sociology and the object of research, while those grounded in humanities can cultivate their skill set and develop a profound grasp of the statistical processes constituting the taught data analysis curriculum.
