Statistics with specialisation in Data Science

Statistics is the mathematical science dealing with the collection, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of masses of numerical data. How does a business determine if an available site for a new restaurant is a potentially successful location How does the health authority assess statistical evidence for the effectiveness of a new vaccine How does an insurance company determine the risk level of a new proposal Statisticians open the door to such decision making in the face of uncertainty for business, government, and science. They provide the needed expertise for the design and analysis of complex surveys on health, consumer and business issues. They are also involved in the design and analysis of experiments and research studies, enabling knowledge discovery in various fields of application. This programme is designed to equip students with computing concepts and skills that will enable them to take on emerging challenges in the collection, storage and analysis of large amounts of data in virtually every field.
