MORSE Spotlight: Sam Cuthbertson

Sam Cuthbertson

BSc MMORSE 2011

Assistant Statistician at the Ministry of Justice

It is the breadth and depth of the demanding MMORSE degree, and the specialism I took in my fourth year in Statistics and Operational Research, that allows me to hold (in my opinion!) one of the most interesting jobs in the Ministry of Justice.

Here I am employed by a team of Operational Researchers, on the UK Civil Service Analytical Fast Stream Programme, and currently seconded to work with a team of Economists. Studying MORSE has provided me with a solid technical understanding of methods used in assorted disciplines but also a considerable ability to apply these in the real world and communicate them to both technical and non-technical audiences - this is precisely why I chose to study the MORSE degree at Warwick.
