Within the Bocconi PhD School, the four-year PhD program in Statistics provides a solid grounding for high level research in Statistics, Probability and Data Science.

The curriculum is organized over two years of courses and two years entirely devoted to research. Students gain a deep mathematical and methodological preparation through the first-year. The second-year courses provide students with a more specialized competence and focus on topics that may be the object of the doctoral dissertation. The third and forth years are entirely devoted to research. Both theoretical and applied research, including methods for Machine Learning and Data Science, are supported and pursued. Multidisciplinary interchange with other graduate programs in Bocconi’s PhD School, as well as research experience abroad, are encouraged.

Highly qualified and motivated students with M.Sc. degrees in Statistics, Mathematics, Economics, Engineering, as well as other quantitatively-oriented fields, are encouraged to apply for admission. Applicants should hold or be on their way to hold a graduate degree or equivalent.
