MORSE Spotlight: Jack Carter

Jack Carter

BSc MMORSE 2016

PhD student at OxWaSP (Oxford Warwick Statistics Programme)

I have just finished my 4th year of the MMORSE degree and like many of the 4th year students I have ended up studying more statistics than any of the other 3 subjects. Although very challenging in terms of quantity and difficulty of work, MORSE is a very rewarding course and I feel that I have learnt many skills that are applicable to a wide variety of jobs. Next year I will be beginning a PhD with the Oxford Warwick statistics program and MORSE, especially the fourth year dissertation, is perfect preparation for this.

At the beginning of my degree I hadn’t considered doing a PhD, however MORSE and the lecturers in the statistics department have given me the confidence to continue on to further study. Despite the high workload, I have still found time for the social aspects of university. I have played football regularly on a Wednesday and Saturday in the Warwick intramural leagues and in my 4th year was the treasurer of Matchday society which organises trips to Premier League football matches.
