Program Description

Statistics is a discipline concerned with understanding patterns and relationships in data in the presence of variation and uncertainty. How do we discover the “truth” or signal hidden in the noise?

• You can use statistics to solve real-world problems.
• You work with researchers from many disciplines.
• Statisticians are key contributors to decision-making in business and government.
• Statistics will help you understand your chosen area of study. If you specialise in chemistry, psychology, health sciences, or economics and finance you will need to collect and interpret data.
• Statisticians are in short supply. You will improve your employment opportunities.
