Bachelor's Degree in Statistics

Field(s) of education and training (ISCED-F)

• Statistics (0542)

Main focus

This degree programme will qualify graduates to apply methods and models of Statistics and O.R. to analyse data, and to make decisions under uncertainty. Its main objectives are the following:
– To enable students to answer complex real problems and build scenarios and models. They will thus be able to use scientific methods and apply statistical analysis techniques to derive conclusions and make decisions.
– To enable students to analyse data from the moment that the problem is identified and formulated. They will be thus able to make decisions pertaining to the design, data collection and coding, analysis, model fitting and validation, interpretation, publication and presentation of results, and finally, the formulation of conclusions and proposals for future work.
– To provide training in techniques, methods, and models, as well as applications to real problems. The skills acquired will allow students to understand the variability of the data, the need for design, differences between observational and experimental studies, the randomisation or influence of covariates, the need for balance between model fitting and complexity, etc.
– To foment self-learning abilities in students.
– To enable students to understand problems in different fields so that they can elaborate models appropriate to the context.

Grading scale
In the Spanish university system, modules/courses are graded on a scale of 0 to 10 points with the following qualitative equivalence:
0-4,9: «suspenso»; 5-6,9: «aprobado»; 7-8,9: «notable»; 9-10: «sobresaliente». A special mention, «Matrícula de Honor» may be granted to up to 5% of the students in a group provided they have got a «sobresaliente». To pass a module/course is necessary to get at least 5 points.
In cases of recognition of ECTS, professional experience, cultural or sports activities, or student representation no grading will be recorded but, where appropriate, the word «Apto».
