The Integrated PhD is a 4 year PhD programme which involves students taking postgraduate level courses and a dissertation during their first year before progressing onto standard PhD research. It is similar to spending one year studying for a Statistics MSc followed by three years on a PhD. Progression to year 2 of the programme is dependent on students performing well during their first year (based on the minimum level of achievement we would expect from someone capable of obtaining a PhD). Students who fail to progress are eligible for an MRes (subject to satisfactory performance).

The Integrated PhD is aimed at students who have the academic potential to do a PhD in Statistics but lack the necessary statistical background to be normally considered for a standard PhD. Primarily these are students who have a strong mathematics background but have lacked the opportunity to specialise in statistics; or to take the postgraduate level courses in statistics that are necessary preparation for a PhD However it would also be appropriate for well-motivated numerate graduates who wished to convert from an undergraduate degree in a related scientific discipline.
