Overview

The Statistics degree from University of Auckland opens up a wide range of career opportunities. If you have been away from study for a while, the GradDipSci provides an opportunity to learn about new developments in your field of expertise.

Statistics is the human side of the computer revolution. It's an information science, encompassing the art and science of extracting meaning from seemingly incomprehensible data. Statistics applies to almost any field – and so some training in statistics can help make you more effective and more employable, regardless of the career direction you choose.

Career opportunities:

Statisticians apply their skills in a wide range of industries. Successful statisticians often begin their careers in technical roles before being promoted into management. Consulting statisticians enjoy a wide diversity of statistical applications for problem solving. In one week a practicing statistician can help to investigate a case of disputed authorship, design an experiment to evaluate the effects of a new treatment for a disease, analyse a set of data gathered by an ecologist, and help a freight carrier to study work processes to find ways to make the company more profitable.
