Overview

Bachelor of Science - Statistics

Learn how to make sense of the information that surrounds us with Massey’s Bachelor of Science (Statistics).

Theory and practical relevance

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.

As a Bachelor of Science (Statistics) student you will learn the fundamental theory of statistics. 

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.

Sought-after skills

You’ll learn how to work with large data sets to discover patterns and draw conclusions. They are sought-after skills for many employers. 

As one of New Zealand’s first universities to offer courses in data mining, Massey has both the experience and strength to ensure you graduate a step ahead of the rest.

Some of the topics taught in statistics courses include:

  • probability models
  • data analysis
  • statistical models

  • biostatistics
  • experiments and surveys

  • statistical methods of quality improvement
