Bachelor of Science in Statistics

About this programme

Statistics makes sense of data using mathematical modelling to explain what is observed and to predict what is yet unknown. There are many areas in which statistics helps us to understand what is going on and to predict what is likely to happen in the future, from climate change to the economy to medicine. It can be applied across a wide variety of fields through data collection and research.
