Welcome from the HoD

Understanding Statistics is a way to help you understand our world. The lecturers in our Department come from a range of backgrounds – Biology, Engineering, Health, Marine Science, and even Art History! With this broad range of background skills they show students how to interpret and critically evaluate statistics in our data rich world.

Studying Statistics is useful for most University courses and will add value to your academic journey. Nearly two out of every three students at The University of Auckland include at least one Statistics course in their undergraduate degree. There are excellent career prospects for graduates who combine a major in Statistics with other subjects in Business, Science, Engineering, Medicine, or Arts. Whether you are thinking of majoring or minoring in Statistics or just complementing your degree with some Statistics papers, you will find the information you need in this booklet.

If you need assistance with course advice, please email us at office@stat.auckland.ac.nz or drop by our Departmental Office, Room 203 of the Science Centre, Building 303 at 38 Princes St. Our friendly and helpful staff will direct you to an appropriate advisor.

We hope to see you in the near future.

All the best,

Chris Triggs
