About

Complex statistical problems arise in almost all types of research, and advanced statistical methodologies are widely used. Consequently, as a graduate from the two-year  Statistics programme offered by the University of Copenhagen, you are in high demand as partner and team member in many projects.

Overview

Statistics is largely the use of models to describe the real world. You often need to design the models specifically to describe a certain problem. This process requires your creativity in combination with your mathematical skills.

In practice, statistics is a combination of three different disciplines:

  • Probability theory, which is the field of mathematics that describes uncertainty.
  • Theoretical statistics, which comprises philosophical considerations about how best to translate between mathematics and reality.
  • Practical data processing, which is an area of applied computer science.

Career Opportunities after the Statistics programme offered by the University of Copenhagen

Being a statistician, you are in high demand and there is virtually no unemployment. Statisticians find jobs in, for instance:

  • the pharmaceutical industry
  • the public health insurance sector
  • the financial sector
  • agricultural research.

Some statisticians are employed at universities as scientists or teachers. This requires you to get a PhD. Others work as consultants or as private entrepreneurs.
