COURSE DESCRIPTION
Highlights
- Develop analytical and problem-solving skills for use in a vast array of roles and settings to gain insights into many real-world problems of significant importance.
- Work closely with academics who are world leaders in research with strong industry ties, ensuring relevant and high-quality learning experiences.
- Be provided with the methodology for analysing data using emperical, theoretical and computational tools.
- Discover complex statistical techniques, and develop a fundamental and thorough understanding of statistics and statistical methodologies for use in real-world scenarios in industry, government and/or research.
Mathematics and statistics graduates use their analytical and problem-solving skills in a vast array of roles and settings to gain insights into many real-world problems of significant importance. They can develop new financial products in the banking industry, optimise transportation schedules in today’s busy world, or help understand customer value in the commercial world. They can also aid scientific research by data mining to discover genetic links and pathways or help to understand disease transmission of a pandemic.
Why choose this course?
Many of our academics are world leaders in research and have strong industry ties that ensure the relevance of teaching material and high-quality learning experiences. The statistics major will provide you with the methodology for analysing data using empirical, theoretical and computational tools. You will discover complex statistical techniques and concepts through applications and datasets from the real world, providing strong links between theory and application.
You will also gain a fundamental and thorough understanding of statistics and statistical methodology, and the ability to apply such quantitative skills in real-world scenarios, preparing you for a career in industry, government and/or research.
Customise your degree
Foster your passion and shape your career through complementary study areas. As well as choosing a major area of study, your course includes a second study area, which can be either a second major or double minor.
A second major can complement your major area of study, giving you the opportunity to develop a significant depth of knowledge and skills in two discipline areas.
Mathematics Second Major
- Data Science provides the necessary skills to be a data scientist including statistical methods and data visualisation, computational tools for and data management techniques for large datasets, and high-performance computing resources and techniques. This unique skill-set in statistics and computing will allow you to cope with sophisticated models applied to complex and/or large datasets.
