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 pursue a career in statistics or data analysis, the Statistics major in the Bachelor of Science may be for you. In this major students develop a strong core of mathematics, computing and statistics skills, preparing them to solve problems with data in any field. Students can combine their statistics studies with a second major, strengthening their skills in an area of applied science like Genetics, Neuroscience, or Zoology, or further developing their technical skills by choosing a second major in Mathematics or Data Science. If your primary focus is a different area, you can supplement any Bachelor of Science major with a minor in Statistics, giving you a solid core of applied subjects, and you would also receive substantive statistics training within the Data Science major of the Bachelor of Computer Science, and other courses. At the postgraduate level, we offer majors in Statistics at the Graduate Certificate, Diploma, and Masters level, as well as strong statistics offerings in a number of other majors such as the Master of Data Science, or postgraduate majors in Quantitative Ecology or Mathematics. Statistics Majors are available within the following courses: Undergraduate Postgraduate Statistics Units may be taken as part of many courses, including the following: Undergraduate Postgraduate Units offered by the statistics discipline are: Undergraduate Postgraduate Relevant units offered in other disciplines that may be taken by statistics students include: 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 and other government departments, NRMA, Universities, Survey Companies (eg Gallup Poll), Banks and Insurance Companies, biotechnology companies, health research units. Postgraduate research opportunities Prospective research students are encouraged to contact the staff in the Statistics discipline about possible research projects.
