Training at the MRC Biostatistics Unit

The MRC Biostatistics Unit places strong emphasis on the training of a new generation of biostatisticians, and on producing skilled researchers in this high demand area.

The BSU PhD Programme provides opportunities for students from the mathematical sciences or related subjects to enter the world of biostatistics and benefit from rigorous training while engaging with exciting applications.

As biostatisticians, we interact closely with biomedical researchers, epidemiologists and public health professionals. Our successful history of anticipating emerging needs for statistical expertise in the health domain and the stimulating scientific environment of the BSU will ensure that we continue to make a significant impact on future statistical practice in biomedicine. Internationally, the Unit is one of only a few comparable centres for biostatistics research.
