modules

In this module you will become part of the research group in statistical science and write an independent project with a substantial research element. You will undertake the project individually, under the supervision of a member of faculty in statistical science and as a part of that member of staff’s wider research group, potentially including post doctoral researchers and PhD students tackling problems in the same or similar areas to yours. There will be a range of potential projects to choose from, aligning with the research interests of the participating members of the statistical science faculty. Projects will typically require mastering some theory beyond that given in undergraduate statistics courses and modelling/data analysis using statistical software, with the weighting of these elements varying according to the research problem. Each student will leave a lasting mark on the department. They will produce a poster, which will be displayed in the department for 1 year and will appear on the statistics webpages. They will be recognised as part of the research group on the statistical science webpages.

Note: projects offered will build on material in level 3 Statistics modules and as a result each project will have one or more further prerequisites and/or co-requisites. These will be  specified in the list of projects offered to students and available on the module ELE page. 

Prerequisites: MTH2006 , Project dependent 3rd year modules

Corequisites: Project dependent 3rd/4th year modules
