Program Overview

The Bachelor of Science is built around a foundational core and 11 majors. The core subjects will help you develop a broad understanding of scientific theory, practice and technique, while your major allows you to specialise in your area of key interest. Across your first and second years, you’ll put your classroom learning into practice via hands-on scientific projects. Then, in your final year, you’ll collaborate with students from across the 11 majors, as well as with government, industrial, research or educational institutions to tackle real-world problems. This apprenticeship-style work will help you develop the competencies and expertise desired by employers, such as innovative problem-solving, critical thinking, effective communication and organisational skills, and creativity.

Major: Statistical Modelling
Statistics is the science of learning from data. The study of statistics is crucial to understanding the world around us, and science and industry rely on it to turn data into meaningful information. With the growth in big data, the worldwide demand for statisticians continues to grow. With highly transferable skills, providing you with the agility to transition across industries, statistical modelling is your ticket to the future.

In the Statistical Modelling major, you’ll learn how to apply statistical principles, concepts, techniques and technology to solve practical and theoretical problems, and interpret the results. You’ll develop an understanding of the multidisciplinary role of statistics, and you’ll learn how to communicate information, reasoning and conclusions to a wide range of audiences.
