Programme
The Ph.D. programme in Statistics pursues the objective of training highly qualified statisticians able to apply the most modern statistical techniques to scientific research. Students graduate this program with a broad set of skills, from the ability to interact collaboratively with researchers in applied fields, through the formulation and computational implementation of novel statistical models and methods to demonstrating mathematically that these methods have desirable statistical properties.
The Ph.D. Programme in Statistics develops in 3 years and training activities require:
- attending courses with a final assessment
- attending short courses, reading groups and internal seminars
- participating to the department's life
- preparing a Dissertation with original contributions in Statistics
Doctoral Credits
With the publication of AVA 3, the periodic accreditation system is extended to Research Doctorates. One of the relevant aspects in the design phase of the doctoral training offer is the definition of the Doctoral Credits, which define the commitment required of the doctoral student in the various training and research activities that will characterize his or her path.
The following structure of doctoral credits applies for the 40th cycle.
