Complete your training in statistics by introducing yourself to research or specializing in biostatistics. This program aims in particular to broaden theoretical and methodological knowledge as well as learning statistical consultation. While the dissertation orientation favors the in-depth study of a particular area of research, the internship or supervised work orientation places more emphasis on the study and application of cutting-edge statistical methods used in different scientific disciplines.
The dissertation consists of a contribution to statistical research. The research work for a dissertation or a directed work is done under the supervision of a professor whom you generally choose before the end of the first session and, preferably, at the very beginning of the program.
