Master's in Statistical Techniques

2024/2025 · 90 credits

What you learn

Metodología avanzada relativa a la Estadística y la Investigación Operativa, junto con sus aplicaciones prácticas. En lo que se refiere a la Estadística, la metodología gira, en general, en torno a la Inferencia Estadística: obtención de información fiable relativa a una población en estudio a partir de la observación de una muestra de ella. En la parte de la Investigación Operativa es destacable el manejo de herramientas matemáticas para encontrar la mejor solución a un problema (satisfaciendo una serie de restricciones), así como el estudio de conflictos (problemas de decisión en los que interaccionan varios agentes) y la propuesta de soluciones. Los conocimientos adquiridos permitirán realizar un análisis crítico y riguroso de los resultados obtenidos en las aplicaciones prácticas.

Student mobility

UDC holds student mobility agreements with universities and other third-level institutions across four continents. Students are offered several opportunities each year to apply to study abroad in one of these centres (for a single term or for a whole year), with the guarantee that all credits obtained will be duly recognised in their academic record upon their return.

For each round of applications, the University publishes the list of exchange options available to students and, where relevant, the specific conditions associated with each. Students may also apply to the University for funding for international work experience placements and internships.

Work experience placements are accredited in the student's academic record and the European diploma supplement. Students are free to decide in which host company or academic institution within the EHEA they wish to carry out their placement. To assist them in their search, the University has created an online noticeboard with jobs postings and other news.

Work-study placements in A Coruña are arranged by the International Relations Office (ORI) of the UDC in collaboration with the international relations coordinators in the student’s home university. The general entry criteria, rights and obligations of students, and admission and acceptance procedures for the programme, are regulated by the UDC Mobility Policy.
