Overview

This Statistics Research programme offered by King's College London enables students to undertake original investigation in modern statistical methodology and quantitative analysis. Candidates develop expertise in designing experiments, analysing complex datasets, constructing mathematical models, and creating computational approaches for understanding uncertainty, prediction, and decision-making across a range of applications.

Key Facts

Based within the Statistics Group at King's College London, researchers work in a collaborative environment with strengths in Bayesian statistics, time series analysis, Monte Carlo methods, and computational statistics. Students benefit from partnerships with organisations including Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Jupiter Asset Management, Centre for Urban Science and Progress (CUSP) London, and University College London, providing opportunities for interdisciplinary engagement, advanced training, and industry collaboration.

Other requirements

General requirements

The official minimum entry requirements are a Bachelor’s degree with 2:1 honours (or equivalent). In practice, applicants will normally be expected to have an MSc, MMath, MSci or equivalent degree with merit/2:1 honours (or equivalent) and high grades in modules relevant to the research area.

Applications from women, disabled and minority candidates are encouraged, as are applications from individuals with non-standard backgrounds (e.g., those from industry or returning from a career break).

It is not necessary that an applicant has completed their current course of study before applying; in such a case any offer may be conditional on the eventual degree classification.
