If you're considering a degree in Statistics, certain key qualifications are generally expected, though specific requirements vary between universities and courses.
For a Bachelor's degree, strong performance in Mathematics during your final years of school is typically required. For a Master's program, universities often expect you to have completed a certain number of ECTS credits in relevant subjects such as Mathematics or Statistics.
Other common admissions criteria include:
- Proof of English proficiency (e.g., IELTS or TOEFL scores)
- A motivation letter
- A CV
- Grade reports or academic transcripts
- Reference letters (particularly for Master's applications)
- An entrance exam or interview, depending on the institution
As an example, the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) requires two academic references for Master’s degree applications. Always verify specific entry requirements on the university’s official website, as they can vary widely.
