Bachelor of Mathematics (Applied Statistics)
Statistics is the study of the collection, organisation, analysis and interpretation of data. Applied statistics use mathematical concepts and methods to develop, design and analyse scientific experiments, sample surveys, medical clinical trials, environmental studies, and industrial and business big data systems. It uses mathematical models of variation to enable analysis and forecasting in many industries. It is the basis for successful decision-making and problem-solving in government, business, science, engineering, agriculture and industry.

Applied Statistics uses mathematical concepts and methods to develop scientific experiments, sample surveys, medical clinical trials and environmental studies. It uses mathematical models of variation to enable analysis and forecasting in many industries. The degree is flexible, so you can take up to one quarter of your subjects from other disciplines to expand your career options.
There are opportunities for scholarships from corporate partners, plus summer scholarships and undergraduate research projects with academic staff, access to programs of the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute (AMSI) and inter-university courses via our Access Grid Room.
What you will study
A major in Applied Statistics equips 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 and sample surveys and experimental design.
You will gain strong computing and communication skills, and learn problem-solving, critical thinking and analytical skills that are in demand across government and private sectors.
