Graduate Diploma in Arts - Statistics
The Graduate Diploma in Arts (Statistics) will give you the equivalent of an undergraduate major in statistics without completing a second bachelor’s degree.
A Massey Graduate Diploma in Arts (Statistics) is a bridging tool for graduates in other subjects to get the equivalent of a major in statistics.
Improve your decision-making
The Massey Graduate Diploma in Arts (Statistics) will teach you to interpret the science of evidence. Statistics allow us to quantify risk and make effective decisions even when we are uncertain about the world around us. Should I buy or sell my stock? Is this new treatment effective against breast cancer? What adverts should my website display to increase my revenue? How can I better interpret that weak distress signal coming from a vessel far out at sea?
Using the recent explosion in digital data to answer questions like these makes statisticians some of the most highly sought-after employees.
Big data = more jobs for statisticians
If you can interpret this explosion of information and data, you’ll be indispensable. Big Data has opened up a huge range of career opportunities for you if you’re talented in working with figures.
Learn the theory and the practice
As a Massey Graduate Diploma in Arts (Statistics) student you’ll begin to learn the key theories of statistics, but you’ll also get the quantitative skills to conduct robust statistical analysis that’s effective in the real world.
