7 Statistics Degree Programs in Sweden

The amount of data collected in today's society is increasing explosively. It is a major challenge for companies and organisations to process all this material and draw relevant conclusions. In the Master's programme in Mathematical Statistics you learn how to analyse complex data. People with such knowledge are in great demand in the labour market, and forecasts show that the need is also growing in the future.

Unleash the power of data and statistics to make the right decisions happen. We integrate statistical modeling and analysis with machine learning, data mining, and data management to give you unique skills.

This program will suit anyone who is interested in mathematics and wants to apply his or her skills to problem-solving and for creating new mathematical models. It also gives you the possibility to start an academic career. In Mathematical Statistics and Financial Mathematics, you study courses in mathematics but you also train stochastic thinking and statistic skills. It contains courses in e.g. probability theory, stochastic analysis, insurance mathematics, and financial modeling.

The programme is intended for those interested in data, statistics, and life sciences. We provide you with the proficiency needed to work with biostatistics both nationally and internationally. You will learn about statistical methods, models, and underlying theories, how to design studies, analyze and interpret data, and program in R. After receiving your degree, you will have practical experience, and good opportunities for employment or further studies at the third-cycle level.

The Master’s programme in Mathematical Statistics provides a broad spectrum of tools and methods for handling random phenomena occurring in scientific as well as industrial contexts. Within the programme, you can specialise in many different areas such as the modelling of economical, biological and environmental data. You study at least 45 credits in mathematical statistics at the Master’s level and write a Master’s thesis of 30 credits. The remaining (at most 45) credits can be used in additional mathematical statistics courses or, for example, mathematics or numerical analysis, as well as in other subjects, for example, computer science, economics, molecular biology and bioinformatics.

The Master's program in statistics provides in-depth and broad theoretical knowledge, focused on applications and practical usage of statistical theory and methodology. It prepares you to take on an essential role in statistical modeling and design, and for making your own methodological contributions. Would you like to do research in statistics? Then this program is set up for you!

The program focuses on how to draw smart conclusions from a large amount of data to make well-informed decisions. In today's society, data is generated with great variety, in enormous amounts and at high speed. This data is becoming increasingly complex. We are constantly connected with computers and smartphones, we are surrounded by cameras and sensors that monitor and measure.
