The Master of Applied Science in Quantitative Research Methods is offered by the School of Mathematics, Applied Statistics and Actuarial Sciences.
This programme leads to the degree of Master of Science in Quantitative Research Methods, with specialisation in either Biological or Social Research Methods.

The Fees for eLearning Programmes is designed with students in full-time employment in mind. It is a practical course in which the involvement of the employer is desirable in as far as they could permit the use of their data and problems in content delivery. Towards this end, the programme is, where possible, tailored to suit the needs of such employers. On the overall, this innovative approach hopes to further the relevance of this programme to industry.

The taught part of this course consists of a series of modules. Each module is the equivalent of 2 weeks full-time teaching or 48 contact hours, as are other MSc courses offered at Maseno University. A module can be taken either as part of a planned MSc course, or as a stand-alone module.

The Bachelor of Science (Mathematical Science, with IT) is offered by School of Mathematics, Applied Statistics and Actuarial Sciences

This programme which is being offered in Maseno University for the first time, has been specifically designed to provide a flexible approach to mathematical education by allowing participants to specialise through the course of the degree programme in areas of Mathematics, Applied Statistics and Actuarial Sciencess while ensuring that they have a solid foundation in Mathematics.

The programme targets professionals working or preparing to work in the banking, mathematical modelling, and research environments. The content of the later years of this programme are almost entirely elective to allow specialization in participants' respective areas of interest. In an improved and more dynamic approach to ICT integration into the Maseno University curriculum, the IT component of this programme has been fully embedded into the course content rather than offered as stand-alone modules.

The modules are offered in levels (1,2,3,4) which are equivalent to the corresponding year in the face to face programme (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th).

The Basic Statistics (eStats) is offered by School of Mathematics, Applied Statistics and Actuarial Sciences

This eLearning module leads to a Certificate in Basic Statistics. It can also be taken as a prequalification for a Masters' level degree in Statistics and related studies. The participant will learn and practice the skills necessary for statistical data analysis.

The module adapts a balanced approach, including a theoretical underpinning, analytical tools and practical application of the learning. It puts less emphasis on hand calculations in order to allow students more time to understand the key concepts and the computer outputs. The data used for practical sessions will be realistically sized data sets.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS:

A degree recognised by the University Senate. Individuals without a degree may be considered if they are working for organisations in data handling or studying for a degree where statistics would be useful.
