Bachelor of Science in Statistics

About this programme

Statistics is all about making sense of the world through data: its collection, analysis, interpretation and presentation. Data is all around us, so there's a need for statistics everywhere in society, from studies that make sure our drugs and vaccines are safe to everyday decision-making. Studying Statistics at Otago you'll learn to design studies, collect reliable data, build statistical models and interpret results meaningfully.

Entry requirements

• International students need a secondary-school qualification recognised as equivalent to New Zealand University Entrance. Widely accepted qualifications include Cambridge International A-levels (typically at least 120 NZ Tariff points), the IB Diploma (minimum 24 points), and many recognised national qualifications assessed country-by-country. Applicants who do not meet direct entry can qualify through a foundation-year programme or one year of study at an institution of university standing. Some programmes require specific subjects, and a satisfactory level of English is required.
