There are many practical applications for statistics, including fields such as science and medicine, government, business and education. Statistics students will acquire the analytical techniques, clear logical thinking and deductive reasoning necessary to explore some of these fascinating areas of research.

The BSc (Hons) in Statistics is a four-year course run by the School of Mathematics and Statistics. During your first year, your studies will focus on mathematics, with the aim of reinforcing your basic skills before embarking upon the study of statistics in your second year. Your second year will focus on a central core of material within statistics which will provide the foundation for advanced study at Honours level.
