M.Sc Biostatistics at PSPH

Manipal

Formulate research-driven ideas into Biotherapeutic solutions

The M.Sc. Biostatistics program is devoted to the specialized training in analytical skills as applied to pharmaceutical and biological sciences. It aims to nurture you to develop as biostatisticians/statistical programmers with productive careers in corporate or academic sectors through strong methodological foundations in biostatistics, versatile training in handling statistical consultations and competency in the use of appropriate techniques, skills and tools necessary for biostatistics.

Program Highlights

Integrated Theory and Health Sciences: We combine rigorous statistical theory with practical health sciences applications so you can solve real-world biomedical and public health problems.

Hands-on Training in Modern Tools: You gain practical exposure to R, Python, and SAS for data analysis, modelling, and research applications.

Advanced Statistical Methodologies: Strong emphasis on Bayesian statistics, predictive modelling, and stochastic processes allows you to conduct complex and data-intensive research.

Interdisciplinary Research and Industry Exposure: You bridge statistics, epidemiology, and biomedical research through consultancies, with a dedicated final-semester project and internship.
