曼大专业介绍MSc Statistics
学费：
International, including EU, students (per annum): £34,500
学术要求：（成绩好之外要求大量专业课）
The normal entry requirements are a good upper second or first class honours degree from a UK university, or the equivalent from an overseas university, in Mathematics or in a subject with some significant mathematical content. Students should also have some knowledge of Probability and Statistics in their degree, at least up to what might be expected by the end of the second year of an undergraduate Mathematics degree.
Expected Background
You are expected to have a first degree with a substantial amount of mathematics including Probability and Statistics. As a minimum you should have done Calculus or Mathematical Analysis, Linear Algebra, two courses in Probability and two courses in Statistics. A Mathematical Statistics course may count as one Probability and one Statistics course depending on the syllabus. If your course is called Advanced Mathematics, then we need to know how much calculus/linear algebra it contains. You can have a look at what Manchester students do in the first two years, or refer to the following list for a quick summary.
Calculus or Mathematical Analysis (functions of a single and several variables, continuity, derivatives, integrals, Mean Value Theorem, Taylor series expansion, minimisation and maximisation, Lagrange multipliers)
Linear Algebra (linear independence, determinant, inverse, eigenvalues and eigenvectors)
Probability I (probabilities and conditional probabilities, Bayes Theorem, moments)
Probability II (multivariate and conditional distributions, generating functions, Law of Large Numbers and Central Limit Theorem)
Statistics I (descriptive statistics, normal, t, chi-square and F distributions, significance tests)
Statistics II (Maximum likelihood estimation, Likelihood ratio tests, simple regression and analysis of variance).
You are expected to have done well in the above courses and your university should have a high national standing.

申请材料：
- Latest transcripts of study showing all modules completed including credit weighting and grades achieved (and English translation if applicable).
- If you have not yet graduated, a list of the modules that you will be completing in the final year of your degree together with their credit weighting
- An official document from your university verifying your current weighted average mark if this information is not included in your transcript of study. Please note : this must be recorded as a percentage, not as a GPA grade, and must give the weighted average mark, not an arithmetic average mark.
- We require references from two people who have knowledge of your academic ability in support of your application, although we can process your application with one academic reference. In most cases, these should be academic references, from a lecturer or professor at your last university. In some cases (for example, if your academic studies occurred some time ago), it might be more appropriate to submit recommendations from those familiar with your professional experience. If you have difficulty in identifying suitable referees you should ask for advice from the admissions team for your course. We will contact your referees directly after you submit your application and direct them to complete our online reference form.
- Degree certificate if you have already graduated (and English translation if applicable).
- Curriculum vitae (CV) if you graduated more than three years ago.
- Personal Statement.
