Statistics
Statistics is the language of data and a fundamental tool in all fields of science. A statistician should be knowledgeable across the entire data pipeline, from modelling systems and experimental design through to data collection and analysis and ultimately to communicating important results. As we move towards an ever increasingly data-driven society, the statistician's repertoire becomes more and more important.
The lecturers encourage you to ask questions and are always happy to help in a non-judgemental way. Statistics is a key component in so many parts of society, particularly in research. It has prepared me well for my Honours research project.
Dominic Waters - Bachelor of Science (Genetics)Whether you're enrolled online or living in the picturesque rural environment of Armidale, if you're interested in the interface of data, science, and computing, the University of New England is a great place to study. The statisticians at UNE love scientific modelling especially applied to biology, chemistry, ecology, and education. We're a small group who care about our students and enjoy interacting with them. Our program best serves students with multidisciplinary interests who don't want to get lost in a crowd. If you want to combine statistics and computing with your love of science, the Computational Data Science major in the Bachelor of Science may be for you. In this course students learn a common core of computing and statistics, then personalise their degree with at least one area of application. By picking a second major, or choosing from one of our pre-defined themes (in bioinformatics, computational chemistry, applied mathematics and statistics, computational systems biology, precision agriculture, or quantitative ecology), students develop data science skills that set them apart. If you want to blend statistics with mathematics or have even more of a computing focus, we have other options available. For a greater emphasis on computing, the Data Science major in the Bachelor of Computer Science is a great choice. Or, complement a major in Mathematics in the Bachelor of Science with a range of listed units in Statistics. At the postgraduate level, we offer majors in Statistics (Graduate Certificate in Science) and Applied Statistics (Graduate Diploma in Science), as well as strong statistics offerings in a number of other majors such as Computational Data Science, Quantitative Ecology, Mathematics, and Regulatory Science. Statistics units may be taken as part of the following courses: Undergraduate Postgraduate Postgraduate research Prospective research students are encouraged to contact the staff in the Statistics discipline about possible research projects. Undergraduate Postgraduate Statisticians are in great demand. Starting salaries have remained above the median graduate starting salary for at least the last 25 years. Graduates in Statistics from UNE have found employment in a number of areas: CSIRO, Australian Bureau of Statistics, NRMA, Universities, Survey Companies (eg Gallup

Graduate Certificate in Science (Statistics)
The Graduate Certificate in Science includes a major in Statistics covering topics such as statistical learning, probability and inference, advanced computational science, statistical modelling and experimental design.
Graduate Diploma in Science (Applied Statistics)
If you major in Applied Statistics you can study our core statistics units, complemented by other quantitative offerings across computing, ecology, genetics, and mathematics. Alternatively, if you want to combine quantitative training with an interest in the natural environment, we offer a multidisciplinary major in Quantitative Ecology. Statistics is also a component of several other majors, including Computational Data Science, Mathematics, and Regulatory Science.
Master of Scientific Studies
At the coursework Master's level, we focus on adding value to multidisciplinary majors such as Quantitative Ecology. This major combines a core of statistics and quantitative units in ecology with breadth offerings in areas such as ecological theory, policy, genetics, mathematics, or programming. Statistics units may also be taken in a number of other majors, such as Mathematics, Genetics, or Biodiversity Science.
