The program, which presently forms a track within the mathematics masters of Leiden University, is organized in a collaboration between groups at Leiden University, Leiden University Medical Center, VU University Amsterdam, VU University Medical Center, Wageningen University, and Erasmus University Medical Center Rotterdam.

Together these institutes have expertise in a wide area of statistical science and its applications, both practical and theoretical. Many of the scientific staff members are involved in other educational tasks, or are specialized in research and statistical consultation.
