Master of Science in Statistical Data Analysis
Increasing computer power and the professional need to extract objective information from observed data have led to complex databases. International professional and research standards in various fields demand high quality data analysis, performed by qualified statisticians. The Statistical Data Analysis programme offers scientists from a variety of fields intensive training in modern statistical methods and data analysis.
Open Days
Each spring there is a Graduation Fair. It consists of a job fair (with more than 200 different companies) and a postgrad/master fair.
For some programmes, there is a specific Open Day. If this is the case, you will find the date here (at the latest Feb 15th).

Additional Information on Admission (Flemish Degree)
For all students, admission is partly dependent on the result of an assessment test, which evaluates skills in basic mathematics, probability, statistics and fluency with use of the R software. More information can be found at https://mastat.ugent.be/assessmenttest. Note that this assessment test also means that the final deadline for applications is the last week before the actual start of the academic year.

Flexible trajectories
Flexible trajectories refers to alternative ways of following our courses. It might mean that a course can be spread in time as to allow the combination of work and studying, or that students with special needs get the support they need to allow a succesful study career.
Many students of the Master in Statistical Data Analysis combine the courses with another job, and that is why some recommended curricula can be found on https://mastat.ugent.be/FAQ/.
