Statistical Science for the Life and Behavioural Sciences

Statistics is the art of drawing conclusions about phenomena in which chance plays a role. The randomness may arise through a variety of reasons: the intrinsic random nature of a phenomenon, unavoidable noise in an experiment, conscious randomization of experimental or measurement units, or as a best approximation to reality. The chance phenomena occur in a broad range of situations. This has rendered statistical science a highly multidisciplinary undertaking, but with a core body of concepts and methods that are common to the diverse applications.

The master track in Statistical Science provides students with a thorough introduction to the general philosophy and methodology of statistical moDELLing and data analysis, and offers two specializations: into the applications of statistical methods to the life sciences and to the behavioural sciences, respectively.
