- Hi, everyone, I'm Sam Clark with Crimson Education,
and this is the Top 10 Statistics Schools in the World.
They're all above average (drum roll), a statistics joke.
My friend, Gus, wrote it.
- You suck. - Thank you.

A bit of a disclaimer before I start the list.
This list is based on the QS World Rankings,
which includes such factors as employer reputation,
academic citations, and more.
So it's, by no means, the definitive list,
but it's a pretty good one, all things considered.
But, if you want to learn more about what school
is the best fit for you and for what you want to study,
please click the link below, and you'll get connected up
with one of our academic experts on a free consultation
to send you on to the school of your dreams.
So, let's get started.
(beep)
Number 10 on our list is Carnegie Mellon University,
or CMU, located in Pittsburgh.
The statistics and data science program at CMU
places a large emphasis on flexibility,
allowing its students to apply their statistics learnings
to a number of real world problems.
You can focus on a number of different tracks at CMU,
including stat core, stat machine learning, economic stats,
math stats and a neuro stats, all of which can be applied
to a wide range of disciplines.
Number nine on our list
is the National University of Singapore, or NUS.
The department of statistics and applied probability at NUS
offers two distinct degrees within statistics.
The first is just statistics,
and the second is data science and analytics.
NUS offers several applied research concentrations
within their statistics and data science departments.
The focus of those includes quality control and engineering,
marketing research, finance, economics,
survey methodology, and statistical genetics.
Number eight on our list
is the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Statistics research at the Georgia Institute of Technology
focuses on four main application areas,
which are advanced manufacturing, logistics,
health informatics, and quality and reliability engineering.
And, if you're a student
at the Georgia Institute of Technology,
you'll also probably do a lot of work
with other outside research organizations,
including Children's Healthcare of Atlanta,
the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing,
and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Number seven on our list
is University of Oxford's department of statistics.
At Oxford you can either get a three-year BA program
or a four-year master's program with a focus
on mathematics and statistics, which is a collaboration
with their world-renowned mathematics department.
Research specialties in the department of statistics
at the University of Oxford
include machine learning, genomics and networks.
Number six on our list
is the University of California Berkeley.
The statistics program at UC Berkeley prides itself
on, not only pushing students to focus on methodology
and on the theory behind statistics,
but also on applying a lot of that research
and a lot of that work to real world problems,
such as AIDS research, the U.S. Census and neurophysiology.
Berkeley is also home to the Berkeley Statistics
Industry Alliance Programme, which connects students
and faculty with many industry leaders,
really across industries,
and it creates this very cool sort of connection
between the private sector
and UC Berkeley's faculty and research.
Number five on our list
is the University of Cambridge and their department
of pure mathematics and mathematical statistics.
University of Cambridge faculty
has also won six Fields Medals, hunh.
That's great.
(beep)
Cambridge is home to the Statistics Clinic
which offers free statistical consulting services
to all university members
regardless of what department they're in.
Number four on our list is ETH Zurich.
If you're studying statistics at ETH Zurich,
you're probably studying it in the department of mathematics
or in the department
of computational science and engineering.
Both of these departments approach statistics
and approach their research
in slightly different ways, of course.
But in either case you're getting
one of the best statistical programs in the world.
Number three on our list is Stanford University.
You can't major in statistics at Stanford,
but they encourage students who are interested in statistics
in majoring in mathematical and computational science.
However, you can get a statistics minor
and a data science minor.
Stanford prides itself on giving its students
many opportunities to do statistical research
during the summer, oftentimes in collaboration
with biology and other departments.
Number two on our list is Harvard.
Harvard's statistics offers four distinct tracks,
and those are: one, core statistical principles and methods;
two, data science; three, quantitative finance;
and four, bioinformatics and computational biology.
If you study statistics at Harvard, you can probably
go on to a lot of high-paying jobs at tech giants
such as Google, at finance giants such as Goldman Sachs,
and at many other giants across industries.
Statistics students at Harvard get a lot of money
after they graduate (cash register jingling).
(beep)
And the number one school on our list, no surprise
to anyone, is the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Now, MIT does not actually have a statistics department,
but it is still the number one school on our list
because they study statistics
in many, many other departments,
and they're the best in the world at doing it.
You can, however, get a minor in statistics and data science
at MIT, which is a pretty recent development.
And, after the undergraduate level,
there is an interdisciplinary PhD in statistics
that MIT offers which, much like its undergrad program,
is the best in the world.
MIT recommends that graduate students who are interested
in statistics go to one of two research centers.
The first is the Operations Research Centre,
and the second is the Electrical Engineering
and Computer Science program.
So, again, even though MIT does not strictly
have a statistics department, per se,
they have a lot of tracks for students who are passionate
about statistics and want to apply them to other fields,
such as computer science or electrical engineering.
