Master in Institute of Statistics

Tuition is 112,435 TWD per year.

National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University's Institute of Statistics offers a master's program in the mathematical and applied study of data. Statistics as a discipline covers probability theory, statistical inference, regression and modeling techniques, experimental design, and the computational methods used to analyze data across a wide range of fields. Students in a program of this kind typically build a strong foundation in mathematical statistics before moving into applied areas such as biostatistics, financial statistics, machine learning, or data science, depending on their interests and the courses available. Coursework generally combines theoretical study with practical training in statistical software and data analysis, preparing students to work with real datasets drawn from science, industry, medicine, or business. Master's students usually complete a thesis or research project that applies statistical methods to a specific problem, developing skills in data cleaning, model building, and the interpretation and communication of quantitative results. Career paths for graduates in statistics are broad, spanning data analyst and data scientist roles in technology and finance companies, biostatistician positions in pharmaceutical and healthcare organizations, quantitative research roles in industry, and government positions that require statistical expertise for policy or economic analysis. Some graduates continue toward doctoral study for careers in academic or advanced research settings. The program is located in Northern Taiwan, within a concentration of national universities strong in engineering, science, and technology fields. Instruction is delivered in English, allowing international students to build quantitative and statistical skills at a Taiwanese university without requiring prior fluency in Mandarin, making the program accessible to a broad range of applicants interested in a data-driven career.
