PhD in Statistics and Operations Research

In general, the Master's studies that will allow entry to this doctoral program without training complements will be the Master in Statistical Techniques offered by the USC, UDC and Uvigo. Students with research proficiency or with the DEA degree obtained through previous Doctorate programs in Statistics and Operations Research at the three participating universities will also have access to the program without supplements.

In the case of students who complete a master's degree other than the previous one, the Academic Committee of the Doctoral Program (CAPD) will evaluate each case individually and will consider the possibility of requiring additional training (up to 15 ECTS) when their previous training did not include They will take at least 60 ECTS in the area of Statistics and Operations Research at the Master's level in the opinion of the CAPD.

In the case of students who do not complete a master's degree, an equivalence of training at a master's level of at least 60ECTS will be required, preferably in the area of Statistics and Operations Research. This equivalence will be determined by the CAPD.

Statistics and operational research are of great importance today as part of mathematics and as disciplines necessary for the understanding and advancement of other branches such as Economics, Engineering or Medicine, among others.

This Doctorate in Statistics and Operations Research aims to provide solid training in the field of statistics and operations research, capable of adapting to the needs of today's society.

Likewise, it is intended to promote the continuous training of professionals in the area of statistics and operational research and the interconnection between the various areas of the area thanks to the collaboration in the Doctorate of professors belonging to different lines and research groups.

This Doctorate is adapted to the strategic objectives of the University insofar as it pursues the achievement of research excellence and the transfer of technology and knowledge from the University to society, in particular to the business world, which is where the contributions of Statistics and Operational Research must be taken into account.
