Overview

Bachelor of Arts - Statistics

The quantitative skills that you’ll gain from a Massey Bachelor of Arts (Statistics) can set you apart from other graduates when applying for jobs.

A Massey BA (Statistics) will teach you to interpret the science of evidence.

Statistics allow us to quantify risk and make effective decisions even when we are uncertain about the world around us. 

Should I buy or sell my stock? Is this new treatment effective against breast cancer? 

What adverts should my website display to increase my revenue? 

How can I better interpret that weak distress signal coming from a vessel far out at sea?

Being able to use data to find answers to questions like these makes statisticians some of the most highly sought-after employees.

 

Learn the theory and its practical relevance

As a Massey BA (Statistics) student you will learn the key theories of statistics, but you will also get the quantitative skills to conduct robust statistical analysis that is effective in the real world.

Big Data = more jobs for statisticians

The explosion of information and data available to the world has made those who can interpret it indispensable. 

Big Data has opened up a huge range of career opportunities for those who are talented in working with figures.
