最新出炉 | 统计学第一届毕业生超过八成被全球排名前50的大学录取

The first cohort of

Statistics

七月盛夏，又到了一年毕业季。大学四年的奋斗时光匆匆流逝，统计专业的同学们也交出了一份令人满意的答卷。

在第一届统计学专业的毕业生中，已知有23名学生选择继续升学，根据QS2021年世界大学排名，其中有34.8%的学生进入全球排名前10的大学深造，82.6%的学生进入全球排名前50的大学深造，100%进入全球排名前百的大学深造。

一连拿下美国耶鲁大学、密歇根大学、杜克大学、哥伦比亚大学和加州大学洛杉矶分校录取通知书的吴韵湉同学表示，自己可以进入宁诺的统计学学习，感谢宁诺灵活的转专业机制。两度转专业的她，从经济学、数学与应用数学专业，终于找到了自己真正喜欢的专业。

在这四年中，她接触到了纯正的英式大学的教育模式，在课程设置上，他们拥有很大的自由来挑选适合自己发展方向的不同课程。吴韵湉在大四的时候，就选修了包括时间序列分析、多元分析、随机过程、统计推论、统计建模等六门课程，而对于未来打算往金融方向发展的同学，还可以选择最优化、金融数学等课程。

“我也非常感谢我在数学系遇上的好朋友们，是她们的努力、积极与上进带动着我，与她们一起奋斗与加油。我也记得大二的时候系主任Behrouz对我们说的话，努力考最好的分数，进入最好的学校，得到最好的教育。”

吴韵湉也没有辜负老师对于她的期望。今年，她成功拿到了四所US News全美排名前20的大学的录取通知书，其中，耶鲁大学还给出了3万美元的奖学金支持。这对于吴韵湉来说，是对对于她大学四年努力的肯定与认可了。未来，她还是会选择专业排名更高的密歇根大学，深耕生物统计领域。

而统计学专业的另一个学霸陈昊，则是在一开始，就确定了对于统计的热情。受统计学家C.R.Rao教授的《统计与真理》一书的启发，像哲学家一样，统计学家观察世界并作出解释。

“统计学家建立在归纳推理的基础上，通过引入数学工具来量化他们推理中的不确定性。某种意义上说，我知道的数据越多，我就越能量化不确定性，也就越能接近真相。”正是这种对于真相的追求，陈昊在大一转专业时，毅然决然地选择了宁诺新开设的统计学专业。

陈昊也对统计学课程给出了详细的介绍，“英诺的统计学课程能给学生之后的研究和工作打下牢固的基础。例如，在多变量分析的课程里，我们学习了主成份分析等数据降维工具，以及线性判别分析和各种聚类分析的经典方法，在研究和工作里都非常派用场。优化这门课里学到的知识也是做什么都绕不开的知识。统计推断这门课介绍了经典统计学的理论，还讲了一点贝叶斯统计，对于以后学传统统计的同学来说是必备的。数据分析和建模是我们大四最好玩的一门，有三个项目可以做，其中一个是制定一个骰子游戏的最优策略，我们当时用MATLAB模拟了各种策略下的游戏结果，很有趣。”

大学四年的付出和努力是否可以得到回报？手握英国牛津大学、瑞士洛桑联邦理工学院和荷兰代尔夫特理工大学录取通知书的陈昊可以自信地给出回答。

数学科学系系主任Behrouz Emamizadeh教授表示，

统计学2+2这个专业是宁诺最令人兴奋的专业之一。2+2的培养模式，使得学生们可以体验新的文化，获得在英国学习的第一手经验。对于未来想要在英国读研、读博的学生来说，更有机会可以实地考察感兴趣的大学，选择最适合自己的学校。更重要的是，我们的授课老师也是各个领域的专家。统计学的课程模块多样，包含了计算模块和理论模块，在大三和大四的课程中，提供了丰富的选修课程。课程的多样性也使学生们更具有竞争力。从第一届毕业生的升学情况中也得到了很好的验证。”

Best Wishes

作为数学学科系的系主任，Behrouz Emamizadeh也代表全系的老师祝我们的毕业生在下一趟征程中一切顺利，期待听到你们更多的好消息。

The first cohort of Statistics students are on the path to succeed in their further studies

In the latest further study survey organised by ACDO, the further studies data of the first cohort of Statistics (2+2) students shows a big success in the talent cultivation.

From the 23 graduates who chose to further their studies overseas, 34.8% of students received offers from QS World Top 10 universities and 82.6% of them received offers from QS World Top 50 universities. All of them are admitted into the QS World Top 100 universities.

Top offers include Spatial Data Science and Visualisation at University College London, Health Data Science at the University of Manchester, Statistical Science at the University of Oxford, Financial Technology at the University of Hong Kong, Computing Science at Imperial College London, Quantitative Finance at the National University of Singapore, and Biostatistics at the University of Michigan.

Professor Behrouz Emamizadeh, Head of School of Mathematical Sciences, said that the 2+2 Statistics programme is one of the most exciting programmes in UNNC.

“The programme offers a 4-year education and the students can get learning experience in both countries—China and UK. This renders a great opportunity for the students to learn of a new culture, and obtain a first-hand account of the UK universities which, in turn, would help them later on to select the best university to attend should they intend to pursue postgraduate studies in the UK.” Professor Emamizadeh emphasised the 2+2 feature for this programme.

The professors are amongst the best in their fields of expertise. The curriculum of the 2+2 Statistics programme is diverse, and comprises of both computational and theoretical modules. In the first year the students learn English and review fundamental mathematics. In the second year, amongst other modules, they take the core modules which provide a sound background for year 3 and year 4 study. In the last two years of the programme the students will take advanced modules in statistics and related subjects. The diversity of the curriculum empowers our graduates and make them competitive and marketable which can be attested by their rate of admissions into top universities around the world.

Hao Chen also mentioned that the Statistics programme has built a solid foundation for their future research and career development. Inspired by C. R. Rao, the author of “Statistics and Truth” also a statistician, Hao found that chance could create and help in the investigation of truth and it is his pursuit of truth that made him decide to study the statistics programme. He is going to study Statistical Science at the University of Oxford after graduation.

Yuntian Wu, a student who received offers from Columbia, Yale, Duke, Michigan, and UCLA, which are top universities in the United States, said that they are able to tailor the choice of optional modules to suit their interests and career plans.

She had spent four wonderful years at the University of Nottingham. “I am so grateful to meet my best friends and I will always remember the time we study together and strive to be the best.”

This batch of students is going to embark on their journey to their further studies. As the Head of School of Mathematical Sciences, Professor Behrouz Emamizadeh would like to wish all of our graduates the best in their next endeavours. We look forward to hearing many success stories about you.
