learn how statistics is used in biotechnology, finance, marketing, science, medicine and even psychology.


Why is this course for me? Statistics is most closely linked to studying Mathematics at Leaving Certificate and is widely used by scientists across many areas, including bioinformatics, ecology, computer science, phar- maceutical science, medicine, finance, social science and government. Statisticians develop mathematical models for uncertainty and inves- tigate their properties and applicability. Te power of modern computing has had a major impact on both the development and applicabil- ity of statistical methods in almost every area of science and industry.


What will I study? Tis is a sample pathway for a degree in Statistics. Topics might include statistical modelling, prob- ability theory, biostatistics, survey sampling, linear models, Bayesian statistics, Monte Carlo inference and actuarial statistics.

Career & Graduate Study Opportunities Statisticians play a key role in the following: A In the pharmaceutical industry statistical modelling is vital in developing new drugs.


A Statistical skills are key in the new emerging areas of bioscience, such as genetics and bioinformatics.


A Training in statistical science is valued in many industries such as finance, environmental science, economic analysis, medicine, education, health and social services, and many areas of government.


Tere are various opportunities for graduate study in statistics in both taught and research programmes, and a number of our graduates complete further studies.

Tis year, I had to confirm the subjects I wanted to major in, so I chose Statistics which still has elements of Maths in it. I am very happy with this course and I would recommend it to anyone who has an interest in maths that applies to real, everyday life.


Tis course has a lot of continuous assessment which includes assignments and computer labs. What I love about Statistics is that there are so many different fields of statistics you can work in. As a statistician, you can work alongside biologists, economists and chemists. Terefore you can constantly change the area in which you are working which makes statistics all the more interesting.
