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.

We offer a number of successful short courses on a range of topics at different levels, for statistical, clinical and other audiences.

We also jointly run an MPhil in Population Health Sciences, with the Department of Public Health and Primary Care and the MRC Epidemiology Unit.
