Master of Statistics and Data Science

The Master of Statistics and Data Sciences will help you develop a problem-solving attitude and teach you how to apply statistical methodology. You'll be trained intensively in both the theoretical and practical aspects of statistics and data science. 

About the programme

The Master of Science in Statistics and Data Science is offered by the Leuven Statistics Research Centre (LStat), a privileged meeting space for statistics and data science researchers from a range of different domains and a stimulating environment for multidisciplinary statistical and data science research. You'll be trained intensively in both the theoretical and practical aspects of statistics and data science. The programme will help you develop a problem-solving attitude and teach you how to apply statistical methodology.

To tailor-make the programme to your needs and interests, you can choose one of the tracks:

  • Statistics and Data Science for Biometrics
  • Statistics and Data Science for Social, Behavioural and Educational Sciences
  • Statistics and Data Science for Business
  • Statistics and Data Science for Industry
  • Theoretical Statistics and Data Science
  • Interdisciplinary Statistics and Data Science
  • European Master of Official Statistics (EMOS, on-campus only)
The programme can be followed either on campus in Leuven or in an online/blended format. When you choose the online/blended format, it is possible to compose your programme by only selecting courses that are offered fully online, and to graduate from the programme without ever coming to Leuven.
