MATTO_TILOS Specialisation in Statistics (50+ cr)
Description
The aim of doctoral education is to educate professionals in research, competent and versatile experts in various fields for the needs of society. The professional expertise of a graduate develops during doctoral training as a result of conducting research, attending postgraduate courses and training events, and acting as a member of the academic and scientific community.
The Doctoral Programme in Mathematics and Statistics has two specialisation options: one in Mathematics and one in Statistics. To obtain a doctorate, a doctoral thesis and at least 50 credits of postgraduate studies must be completed in both specialisations. The requirements for a licentiate degree are otherwise the same as for a doctorate, but the dissertation is replaced by a licentiate thesis.
