COURSE CURRICULUM

The Statistics major consists of 120 credit points within the Bachelor of Science program and provides students with a strong foundation in statistical methods, data analysis and quantitative reasoning. The major is structured across three levels of study, enabling students to develop essential statistical knowledge before progressing to advanced analytical techniques and applications. Students learn how to design experiments, collect and manage data, apply statistical models and interpret results to support evidence-based decision-making. The course structure develops skills in probability, statistical inference, data interpretation, forecasting and identifying patterns within complex datasets. Students gain practical experience using statistical approaches to analyse information, evaluate trends and solve real-world problems across various disciplines. The major emphasises critical thinking, mathematical reasoning and effective communication of statistical findings, preparing students to work with data in an increasingly information-driven world. Graduates of the Statistics major develop versatile skills applicable to careers in data science, research, healthcare, finance, business analytics, government and technology industries. The major provides a strong foundation for further study and professional opportunities where statistical expertise is required to understand information, predict outcomes and support strategic decision-making.
