mariabatsiou [Registered User] 11 May 2013 01:50	Msc in Medical Statistics User: mariabatsiou - 11 May 2013 01:50 I am particulary interested in a career in the pharmaceutical industry! I wanted to know which is the best (in terms of employability rate) M.Sc in Medical Statistics in the UK! I am about to graduate from National Technical University of Athens where i studied Applied Mathematics and Physical Sciences! Here's the programmes i applied: M.Sc in Medical Statistics (LSHTM) --> pending M.Sc in Medical Statistics (UCL) --> pending M.Sc in Medical Statistics (Leicester) --> accepted (conditional offer) M.Sc Statistics with Applications in Medicine (Southampton) --> accepted (conditional offer) M.Sc in Statistics (Lancaster)--> rejected Thank you in advance :)

pf329 [Registered User] 13 May 2013 08:22	User: pf329 - 13 May 2013 08:22 There's also the University of Sheffield's MSc in Statistics with Medical Applications. There's the option to do it over two or three years by distance learning, with just the exam weeks in Sheffield. I admit to bias as I'm currently doing their MSc in Statistics with Financial Maths. This website unistats.direct.gov is only good for first degrees (BA, BSc, etc).

I did an MSc at LSHTM. Great place to study, and its courses are well regarded generally. I don't know about the Med Stats masters specifically.

I just got accepted from LSHTM and i think it's the best choice for me! :D I hope that the employement rates are good because i really couldn't find much! At least academically i think it's the best choice out of the five in terms of biostatistics! Thank you again all for your replies! :D
