"I really liked the course structure for MSc Statistics here. It isn’t just theoretical but also practical which means that it helps you in the corporate world when you go into a job.
"It had a lot of practical work which helps to understand how the theoretical work is put into practise. So I like the course structure, it is very interesting.
"I enjoyed the topics such as risk management and stochastic modelling because they are really useful in real life. The other universities I looked at didn’t offer this practical element."
"It’s been really good to have such a diverse range of modules to choose from and the support from the staff has been really good.
"All the lecturers have office hours so you can go and ask them for help or you can email them and they tend to get back to you quickly and all the other students on my course have been really friendly.
"We’ve set up a study group which has been really helpful because when I started I was a bit unsure of my ability because my background isn’t in maths it’s in biology - but having course friends who support one another has been really useful."
