The 21st Century has given us the Data Society. All aspects of society are now producing large quantities of data and all areas of society from corporations, to government, to sport, to entertainment are increasingly making data driven decisions. Statistics is the science of data and the aim of our programmes are to equip our graduates with the necessary statistics and data analytics skills to make an impact and excel in the modern data oriented society. Our graduates are already in high demand with a 100% employment level in the year following graduation. Indeed the demand has been growing substantially over the last 5 years and we are contacted continually by employers seeking qualified statistics graduates. We offer the only complete undergraduate and postgraduate programme in Statistics on the island of Ireland and we are recognised internationally as a centre of excellence in Statistics. This programme is aimed at students who wish to gain a deep understanding of the concepts of modern statistics and a mastery of the associated skills and technologies. Our students will become autonomous inquisitive learners capable of formulating and creatively solving relevant problems in the language of statistics. Our graduates will be in demand by employers and academic research institutes for their ability to use the tools they have learned to explain, describe and predict. We aim to provide a teaching and learning environment that develops confidence and independence through a wide variety of interactive formats, both inside and outside the classroom, including lectures, tutorials, webwork, blackboard and computer assisted labs.
With a degree in statistics, you will acquire the necessary skills to unlock insights from complex data, and steer crucial decisions across a diverse range of sectors. As a statistician, you will be highly valued across a broad spectrum of fields, such as healthcare, business, bioscience, finance, climate science, economics, sports analytics, education, and government. Our graduates are well-prepared to enter the workforce and make a significant impact in their chosen careers. A degree in statistics also opens doors to graduate studies in both taught and research advanced degrees, which further deepen their knowledge and expertise in the field, providing numerous opportunities for career advancement.
