Knowledge and skills
This four-year program will provide students a strong foundation in mathematics and statistics, as well as acquired knowledge in related subject matters such as biomedical sciences. Additionally, students will gain proficiency in computer programming and the use of mainstream software programs for conducting data analysis. The training and technical expertise provided will lay a strong foundation for students as they continue their journeys in their chosen fields.
Applied tatistics (Biostatistics) is a magical and fascinating discipline. It allows data to speak and reveals the philosophies behind data. The big data revolution is bringing unprecedented innovation and development to all walks of life in modern society (including life sciences and pharmaceutical industries). Biostatistics is the magic wand that helps us understand the causes of diseases, guides public health, medical diagnosis and new drug development. It is also the key to opening the door of data science. I hope all experts can gather here to share and appreciate the beauty of data!

Modules
*Programme modules listed are illustrative only and subject to change.
UK degrees are three years long whereas in China they are four, therefore we do accept students with certain qualifications directly into Year Two, which is the start of the main academic programme. Most students, however, enter into Year One, which provides you with a range of interesting modules, language classes and core skills for your degree.
