Courses and programmes

The Master's Programme in Biostatistics and Data Science, a joint initiative between Stockholm University, the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) and Karolinska Institute, offers a unique combination of biostatistics and data science.

In the Master's Programme in Computational Mathematics you will expand and deepen your skills in mathematical modelling, algorithms, numerical methods, and machine learning.

A joint initiative by the Departments of Mathematics at Stockholm University and the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), this programme provides a strong background in the mathematical sciences, in preparation for PhD studies in mathematics or related subjects, or for research and development in the industry and business sectors.

Mathematical statistics is considered one of the most important tools in applied mathematics and our MSc programme offers you a broad platform, with courses in classical mathematical statistics and more recent courses in statistical learning, and opportunities to specialise and form a unique profile.

Here is an overview of our courses in English and when they are normally offered. Many of these are part of one or more of our programmes but they are usually also available as separate courses.

PhD studies, or a doctoral education, is the highest level you can study at university. A completed doctoral education leads to a doctoral degree, so called PhD. As a PhD student, you are trained in problem solving, critical thinking, and using the scientific method. You will also learn to both work independently and to collaborate with other researchers.
