Statistics Subject regulations
Statistics is the science of collecting and interpreting data subject to uncertainty. We live in a world where variability is everywhere. To make informed decisions, we must understand the nature of variability and make use of meaningful information. Without data, we have to resort to hunches or guesses, neither of which can be relied upon. Statistics tells us how to deal with variability, and how to collect and use data so that we can make good decisions.
There will be no new enrolments in Statistics in 2027 onwards, apart from the MPhil or PhD. Please refer to the Data Analytics subject for further information or consult the Division of STEM for programme advice.
