Compare probability, statistical methods, computing and required mathematics on the current course list. Data science and biostatistics may be separately classified; no exact curriculum is inferred from an award count.

This selection is the source research/scholarship doctorate category, award level 17. The file does not provide the exact degree title, so it does not identify every award as a PhD or confirm a supervisor, research opening or funding offer. Verify the actual qualification and current research application route.
