BSc Bachelor of Science: Statistics CAO Code: MH201 | CAO Points 2017: 366
For overview of the BSc Bachelor of Science MH201 go to p. 156.
Minimum entry requirements: For full details see p. 156.
>Statistics deals with the collection, analysis and interpretation of data.
>Statistics relies heavily on mathematics and computation, and as a subject in our Arts degree you will be provided with a strong grounding in these topics.
Why choose this degree? >We offer Statistics as a Double Major subject which can be combined with most other academic subjects in the Bachelor of Science degree. This flexibility means you can combine your interest in aspects of society with knowledge of the statistical tools needed to understand data from those fields.
>The Department of Mathematics and Statistics has a strong research community of academics and postgraduate students with research groups working in diverse areas of mathematics, statistics and applications.
Options after graduation?
Critical thinking, analysis and being able to adapt to various work environments are among the strong skills and traits of Statistics graduates. Graduates have a range of career options open to them, including employment in the civil service, industry and business, scientific research, medical research, environmental research, financial services and actuarial roles.
Postgraduate study is also possible: we currently offer Masters or PhD in Statistics, Computing or Finance.
