Students have the opportunity to specialise in a specific area of interest to them through their work on a project. The possible areas of specialisation are wide-ranging, generally reflecting the key areas of research strength within the department. There is a great deal of opportunity for postgraduate research work in Statistics at Kent. Applications are invited from those wishing to undertake research. Many students work on collaborative projects, and the links we have with several pharmaceutical, industrial and scientific organisations result in much of the research being of a practical nature.
Staff participate in, and help organise, many international research conferences.
We have regular visitors from many countries and well-established contacts with researchers in Europe, USA, Canada, Australia and the Far East. In addition, University studentships are also available.
