In the branch of study Image Analysis, Pattern Recognition and Signal Analysis you learn how to use informatics and statistics to analyse signals such as sound, pictures, and radio signals. In the branch of study Bioinformatics and Biostatistics you learn more informatics and statistics, and how to apply this knowledge in subjects like biotechnology, medicine or biology. In the branch of study Finance, Insurance and Risk you study the analysis and control of various forms of risk through using mathematics, economics, statistics and information technology. Through the branch Statistics you will learn a general conceptual apparatus for statistical analysis, and then perform an applied statistical investigation, or specialize towards theoretical statistics.
