If you enjoy working with numbers, you will love studying statistics. It is a broad area of study that involves much more than the organization and display of data.
Statistics involves the careful analysis of underlying questions and critical examination of the sources of data.
Modelling the variability in data to evaluate evidence is part of this broad science.

You’ll also learn the quantitative skills to conduct robust statistical analyses that are effective in the real world.
With these broadly useful skills, statisticians are able to work across all areas of science and industry – anywhere that data are found.
You’ll learn how to work with large data sets to discover patterns and draw conclusions. They are sought-after skills for many employers.
