Statistics - Bachelor of Science
The program imparts a broad spectrum of fundamental theoretical and specialist knowledge, as well as methodological competences needed for entry into professional practice. Graduates are able to use scientific knowledge to develop methods and solve problems in relevant application fields.
At the start of the program, the necessary basics in statistics, mathematics, and probability are taught. Later follow special lectures on the presentation, processing, and evaluation of data from different perspectives. The connection to practical problems is established early in a variety of projects.
A mandatory minor subject provides students with basic knowledge in a field where statistics may be applied. There are currently 13 minor subjects to choose from, and the catalog can be expanded if necessary. These include, for example, Theoretical Medicine, Economics, Psychology, Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science, and Mechanical Engineering.
A semester abroad or an internship can also be integrated into the program.

Statistics - Master of Science
The Master’s in Statistics builds on the Bachelor’s program in Statistics. Taking into account the demands and changes in the professional world, teaching and learning are designed to equip students with the necessary specialist knowledge, skills, and methods. The aim is to enable them for scientific work, critical classification of scientific knowledge, and responsible action.
In the Master’s program, knowledge of mathematical statistics is deepened through compulsory elective courses in various special fields (such as non-parametric methods, robust statistical methods, econometrics, and clinical studies). In addition to dealing with essential statistical procedures, independent work is also promoted through a variety of projects.
The application of statistics increasingly encourages autonomy, which is displayed in the use of special terminology, adapted methods and organization. This is why the study program can be focused on biometrics, econometrics/empirical economy, technometrics or official statistics (EMOS - European Master in Statistics), but also be studied without a specific focus.
Students who have already completed a B.Sc. in Data Analysis and Data Management or Mathematics can apply for this master under certain conditions. Exceptions can also be made on application.
Most courses are taught in German.
