The doctoral programme "Statistics: Theory and Methods for Empirical Modelling" provides an interdisciplinary platform for methodical backgrounds of statistics. We aim to give a broad and comprehensive perspective on statistics in different fields of studies - e.g. in life sciences and natural sciences. We promote technical discussions and ensure an academic basis for common methodological developments in statistics and various applications. Statistics builds bridges between applications and data analytics - the doctoral programme offers an institutional framework for the transfer of statistical methods.
Additional support is offered by the GraduateCenter.
The doctoral programme "Statistics: Theory and Methods for Empirical Modelling" is a partially structured programme with individually tailored supervision. The teaching of the programme is characterised by various formats. For doctoral students we offer colloquia, advanced training in various fields of statistics, and focused workshops on dedicated topics. Once a year, a summer retreat is held for all members of the programme. Additionally, the soft skills training programme of the GraduateCenter-LMU is open to students of this doctoral programme.
