Overview
A brief description of the programme
In the Stochastic Modelling, Statistics and Risk Analysis programme of the University of Oslo, you learn to use and develop different tools based on mathematics, probability, statistics and computer science. Such tools are increasingly used to solve problems in many different fields, such as medicine, biotechnology, industry, social sciences, finance and insurance.
The master programme has two options.
- In the programme option Finance, insurance and risk, you learn to analyze and control various forms of risk using mathematics and information technology, combined with economics, probability and statistics.
- In the programme option Statistics, you will learn about statistical models and methods and how you can use them to aquire knowledge from data.
Career prospects
After studying, you will have a good foundation for working in a number of areas both in private and public sector. Many of our Master's theses are directly linked to practical problems for companies and institutions in Norway. Some of the master's students who achieve very good academic results continue to pursue a research career by taking a doctorate (PhD) at the University of Oslo or another university.
