University of New South Wales
Bachelor of Science (Honours) (Statistics)
Nationally Recognised Higher EducationThe School of Mathematics and Statistics (MathsStats) offers a number of Honours streams including in Statistics. The Honours year introduces students to the investigative and research aspects of knowledge and consists of advanced lecture courses, an Honours thesis and seminar participation. We offer expert supervision across a wide range of areas in modern mathematics and statistics. Our Honours students are supervised in their Honours project by some of Australia's finest mathematicians and statisticians.
Students who enrol in the Statistics Honours Stream are expected to have completed a statistics or mathematics major in an undergraduate science or other mathematically focused program. Students who have completed degrees in other cognate disciplines and who are completing a project within the usual concerns of statistics may also apply for entry to this stream.
Honours in Statistics can be completed full-time or part-time. Most students commence their enrolment in term 1 but entry in term 3 is available subject to resources. Students should check the MathStats Honours webpages for application procedures and enrolment deadlines.

To apply for admission to Honours, students should contact the relevant School for information on research projects, available supervisors, and entry requirements. Once student's have located a suitable supervisor, they should lodge an application for Honours to the School by the advertised deadlines. Deadlines for these are found on the School's webpages. Students who have not completed their undergraduate degree at UNSW, or who completed their undergraduate degree at least 6 months beforehand, will need to lodge two applications: one to the relevant School, and another to the UNSW Admissions Office
