Master of Mathematical Sciences (Applied Statistics)

Designed for graduates with a background in mathematics and statistics, this degree provides the opportunity to consolidate and expand your existing mathematics and statistics knowledge while being equipped in the practice of mathematics in other disciplines such as computer science, business, science, and psychology. 
You will also develop skills in undertaking research on mathematical or statistical problems that arise in other disciplines, including how to effectively communicate and synthesise complex information with others. You will also complete a research or coursework-focused capstone project. 

Applied Statistics (specialisation)
Your major in applied statistics will equip you with the essential skills and knowledge of a professional statistician: logic, problem-solving, mathematical and statistical modelling, experimental design and the ability to organise, analyse and interpret large amounts of data.

You will study subjects including estimation and hypothesis testing, applied probability and financial risk, linear and generalised models, statistical inference sample surveys, and experimental design.

The applied statistics major will equip you with strong computing and communication skills, and learn problem solving, critical thinking and analytical skills that are in demand across government and private sectors.
