Completion of a minimum of 400 hours (for instance: 40 hours per week for at least 10 weeks) of practical training will be required to obtain the MS in Applied Biostatistics degree. Students are expected to register for this practical training during the summer term, as a final requirement for degree completion. Practical training can be based on extension of the research rotations, industry-based internships or employment in the field of biostatistics. Students are required to write a research paper based on the practical training.
