Bachelor of Science (Statistics)

Nationally Recognised Higher Education

Statistics allow us to represent numbers and data. They provide a foundation for decision-making, identifying problems, developing opinions, making recommendations, marking progress and reporting on outcomes. They are valuable across many industries—from government to sports to health. With a major in Statistics, you’ll be skilled in the use of mathematics, data science, biostatistics, probability and stochastic processes to analyse and solve complex statistical problems.
