18 Bachelor of Statistics Applied Statistics major ANU program code: 3407 UAC code: CRICOS code: A Duration: three years full-time The Bachelor of Statistics offers a rigorous program of training in the theory and application of statistics. As John Naisbett said of modern society, we are drowning in information but starved for knowledge. One of the most in-demand roles these days is that of applied statistician the key person essential for decision-making and for understanding our data-driven world. In this major, you will learn to understand and use a wide array of statistical modelling techniques that will empower you to make sense of data and offer insights to a wide variety of disciplines, from archaeology to zoology and almost everything in between.

19 Probability and Stochastic Processes major Statistical Data Analytics major Variability, randomness, risk, and related attributes characterise most measurable phenomena in the real world. Probability and Stochastic Processes are concerned with random phenomena occurring dynamically in time or space, or both. They play a critical role in the theory and methods of a wide range of physical, medical, engineering and social sciences, and many others. A good understanding of probability is essential for the study of Statistics. Probability theory is both mathematically elegant and remarkably practical, and the distinction it makes between deterministic and stochastic modelling is fundamental to real-world applications, especially in the areas of insurance risk, genetics and evolutionary biology, climatology, epidemiology, criminology, time series modelling and forecasting, signal processing and detection, and derivatives pricing and financial mathematics. Statistics is data science. Through this major, you will learn the tools that will empower the next generation of artificial intelligence, scientific inquiry, and predictive analytics for business and government. It will open you up to the exciting world of data science that is driving significant innovation in the world of start-ups and disrupting the socio-economic landscape. This program will give you a rigorous mathematical and computational foundation in the areas of statistical learning (a.k.a. machine learning), high-dimensional statistics, data visualisation, and the Bayesian approach that will help you build sophisticated models that capture the uncertainty in the world we live in.

20 Theoretical Statistics major Bachelor of Social Sciences (Honours in Actuarial Studies and Economics) The Theoretical Statistics major provides the mathematical underpinnings of modern statistical practices of estimation, inference and prediction. The major explores both classical approaches to estimation and testing, such as maximum likelihood and the frequentist approach, as well as Bayesian methods that have become ubiquitous parts of modern data analysis. The major covers the theory needed to understand statistical modelling through a variety of lenses: parametric, non-parametric, large-sample theory, small-sample behaviour, robustness, and the use of prior information. Jointly offered with the National University of Singapore (NUS) ANU program code: 4444 UAC code: CRICOS code: E Duration: three years full-time This is a unique and challenging program for elite students combining the expertise of two institutions of high international standing; ANU in Canberra and the National University of Singapore.

A major usually consists of a set number of related courses. Majors at ANU require 48 units (eight courses). Minor: A minor has fewer requirements to fulfil than a major, in terms of units and compulsory courses. Minors at ANU require 24 units (four courses). Specialisation: Similar to minors, specialisations are areas of study with their own courses that can be taken in conjunction with a specific related major. Elective: An optional area of study selected in addition to the core courses of the program. Electives may allow you to delve more deeply into an area of study, or focus on an alternative area of interest that you may have. Many people will use electives to complete an additional major or minor. Course: An area of study usually of one semester in length. Example: STAT1003 Statistical Techniques. Unit: An indicator of the value of a course most courses are valued at six units. 56 ANU College of Business and Economics 2018 Undergraduate Guide 57
