The subject matter of the consecutive master's program Statistics and Data Science is advanced methods for collecting data correctly, extracting reliable information from data, and drawing scientifically sound conclusions. One focus is on the ability to independently develop powerful methods that are precisely tailored to complex content-related questions. On the one hand, in-depth methods of statistical inference, machine learning and statistical modeling are taught, and on the other hand, interdisciplinary communication skills are taught, especially in order to be able to formalize content-related questions appropriately and to be able to prepare the analysis results accordingly for practical consulting in science, administration and business. Students specialize in one of the areas "Machine Learning", "Biostatistics", "Statistics and Data Science in the Social Sciences", "Econometrics" and "Modeling Methodology", where they are introduced to current methodological research.

More programs from the university

You can add a master's degree to your first undergraduate degree (e.g. bachelor's degree or State Examination) if you want to expand or specialize your knowledge.  An increasing number are now in English — from American History to Physics. A master's degree program at LMU usually takes two years and is made up of 120 ECTS points. 

In addition to an undergraduate degree, further qualification requirements may be necessary, which are detailed in the examination regulations for each master's degree.
There are consecutive master's degree programs that build on knowledge from undergraduate studies in the same subject. In other master's degree programs, the requirements can be met with different academic degrees, because they require certain fundamentals that are not restricted to a single subject area. Weiterbildende Master (career-integrated master's degree programs) also require relevant professional experience. Students in these programs are usually required to pay additional tuition fees.
You can find information on individual degree programs in the LMU Degree Program Finder.
