Overview

Bachelor of Science (BSc) majoring in Statistics

The Bachelor of Science (BSc) majoring in Statistics at the University of Auckland

We live in an information age. Computers allow us to collect and store information in quantities that previously would never have been dreamt of. 

However, data is useless until people can start to make sense of it. 

If you’re interested in looking critically at numerical information without being misled, then Statistics could be the ideal major for you.

You can take courses in the following topics:

  • Applied statistics
  • Data analysis
  • Operations research
  • Probability
  • Statistical computing
  • Statistical theory

From 2019, you can also choose to keep your Statistics major general, or you can follow either the Applied Statistics pathway or the Statistics and Probability pathway, in order to focus your studies further:

  • Applied Statistics: For students who are primarily interested in the practice of statistics.
  • Statistics and Probability: For students who are interested in both the applications of statistics and the theory underlying the practice of statistics and probability, including stochastic modeling.                                       If you’re intending to progress to postgraduate study you should take this pathway.

 

You have many options available to you within a BSc Statistics major.

Your BSc program will consist of a number of courses worth 15 points each, totaling 360 points. 

You must complete a capstone course in your final year of study. 

The capstone course is a student-led project where you integrate and apply your learning to a real-world problem in your chosen major or specialization.
