Master Program in Biostatistics
Biostatistics is the science of analyzing and interpreting biomedical data, from clinical trials to observational studies to systematic reviews. This requires the development of appropriate statistical methodology and its competent application. The Master Program in Biostatistics combines in-depth statistical knowledge with clinical/biological data and provides the skills for becoming an expert in data analysis and study design.
A specialized Master Program
The Master Program in Biostatistics is a so called specialized Master Program, implying that it is a useful and direct continuation of a (bachelor) degree in all fields that include quantitative aspects. It is offered by the Department of Biostatistics of the Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Prevention Institute of the University of Zurich (UZH) and is the only - to date - program for the training of biostatisticians in Switzerland.
