The University of Essex is one of the UK's leading academic institutions, ranked ninth nationally for research excellence following the most recent Research Assessment Exercise (RAE, December 2008).

Our Department of Mathematical Sciences has an international reputation in many areas such as semi-group theory, optimisation, probability, applied statistics, bioinformatics and mathematical biology. Our staff are strongly committed to research and to the promotion of graduate activities. Many are world leaders in their individual specialisms and their papers appear in learned journals like Communications in Algebra, Studia Logica, International Journal of Algebra and Computation, SIAM Journal in Optimization, IEEE Evolutionary Computation, Computers and Operations Research, Ecology, Journal of Mathematical Biology, and Journal of Statistical Applications in Genetics and Molecular Biology. Our staff have also written several well-regarded text books.

Econometrics can be described as the application of statistics in an economic context so this course will interest you if your first degree included some training in both statistics and economics. Specialised statistical methods are required to deal with the particular problems of economic data and these are reflected in our modules for MSc Statistics and Econometrics, many of which are given by staff from our Department of Economics (ranked third in the UK in the last Research Assessment Exercise). For instance, Time Series Econometrics provides you with methods for analysing the dynamic processes that are often found in macroeconomics, while Empirical Methods of Economics and Finance introduces you to techniques for analysing stock market and other financial data.

Graduates are sought after by employers in banking, investment and forecasting, local government and other fields.
