Further Training Opportunities

Regular Seminars & Reading Groups

There are over 15 seminars and reading groups based in the Department of Statistics and related departments which meet regularly throughout the year (normally weekly or fortnightly), discussing cutting edge research topics. These are open to everybody, and PhD students are particularly encouraged to take part.

PhD students can also organise their own reading groups. Examples of past student-led reading groups include:

• Empirical Process Theory
• Machine Learning & Optimisation
• Non-local Branching Markov Processes

Young Researchers' Meeting

The Young Researchers' Meeting (YRM) takes place weekly during term time and gives students the opportunity to practice presentations and talk about their work in a relaxed and supportive environment.

Statistical Advisory Clinics

Our Statistical Advisory Clinics give Statistics PhD students a paid opportunity to develop their skills in statistical consulting and interdisciplinary work by providing advice on statistics-related questions for other Warwick PhD students.

Department Initiatives

Special departmental initiatives promote research and interaction in broad major areas and provide the Department's PhD students with a wide variety of academic resources, including sustained programmes of research seminars and international workshops.

Here are some of the initiatives at Warwick Statistics:

• Centre for Research in Statistical Methodology (CRiSM)
• Probability at Warwick (P@W)
• Stochastic Finance at Warwick (SF@W)
• Centre for Applications of Mathematical and Computing Sciences (CAMaCS)
• Applied Statistics & Risk Unit (AS&RU)

Departmental Conference

Each year the Statistics PhD students, alongside academic staff, organise a multi-day departmental conference.

The conference provides the opportunity to share research, discuss ideas and network.
