Statistical techniques act as an important tool if you are interested in economic theory (e.g. risk management and finance) or applied economic analysis (econometrics). This joint programme will provide you with a more thorough and rigorous development of statistical principles. This complements the basic grounding in (and applications of) statistical techniques, which is provided within the economics program. Who is the programme for? The programme is suitable if you are interested in pursuing a relatively technical career in areas such as finance and insurance (including actuarial work). It may also appeal if you would like to proceed to graduate study of economics.
