You already work with data. We teach you the statistical methods you need to leverage it. You start with the Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS): the foundations of applied statistics, data analysis and machine learning. The Diploma of Advanced Studies (DAS) builds on this, combining advanced coursework with an independent thesis based on your company’s data. Single short courses are open to anyone who wants to learn a specific advanced subject rather than complete a whole programme.
“Better data, better models, better decisions.”
You will learn from academic experts, including ETH faculty, and from seasoned practitioners who use these methods in industry. You will put your new skills to work in exercise sessions with the help of personal support until you can apply them to your own data. You’ll join an inspiring network of peers from diverse data-driven fields whose questions will spark new insights you wouldn’t discover on your own. Classes take place on Mondays, are taught in English, and use the statistical software R.
“The CAS and DAS vastly expanded my statistics toolbox and gave me the confidence to make sound statistical decisions and explain my reasoning clearly. Highly recommended to anyone making statistical decisions without formal training in statistics.”
Amy Birkinshaw – CAS graduate in 2026 and current DAS student
