Student Profile(s)
Edisa Livingston
"One of the things I enjoyed most was learning about more innovative and complex statistical methods, from Bayesian inference to principal component analysis. Despite around 20% of my undergraduate mathematics degree being statistics and probability, it was only when I studied statistics as a postgraduate that I developed a real passion for it.
"After successfully completing the Civil Service Statistical Fast Stream scheme in summer 2021, I am about to start a role where I will have the opportunity to lead a team delivering statistical projects in a Government department."

"I enjoyed the group projects working with people from different backgrounds, during the group cooperation, we learned from each other, helped each other and made progress together.
"As for the dissertation, it has enhanced my ability to learn new materials, developed my independence in learning and overcoming difficulties. I’m grateful to the lecturers and staff for their encouragement and support, they are friendly and helpful."
