B.Sc. thesis

In a B.Sc. project in our department, you will either conduct a literature review or learn the basic principles of simulation studies in R. In the latter case, will carry out your own simulation study and investigate the properties of statistical models that you learned about in your bachelor's studies.

Master seminars

We offer master seminars on various topics: Understanding and interpreting statistics, machine learning models, simulation studies. More information here and soon in the course directories.

M.Sc. thesis

From spring semester 2025 we offer Master's projects/theses. Here you will evaluate a statistical model (e.g. machine learning model, multilevel model, psychometric model) using a simulation study in R.

Master's examination

From HS 2024 you can take the oral Master's examination in the "Statistics & Data Science" department. Here you can find more information about the exam in our department.

Colloquium

The colloquium provides a forum for discussing current developments in Statistics & Data Science, including machine learning, multilevel and longitudinal modeling, and psychometric methods. We examine how these approaches are used in psychological research, discuss recent methodological advances, and consider the benefits and limitations of combining methods across different areas.

Sessions typically involve the discussion of research articles, presentations by Master's and PhD students, and talks by invited researchers.
