Statistics Major
When you choose to major in statistics with the Bachelor of Science at RMIT you'll link theory to practice and apply your knowledge and practical skills to solve industry problems. Statistics is the study of data, from design, collection, visualisation, analyses and interpretation. Informed statistical insight is often crucial in influencing and guiding the strategies and decisions taken by organisations, industries, and businesses. In RMIT’s Statistics major, you’ll be taught to think logically, and learn how to approach theoretical and real-world problems in analytical and creative ways and apply your knowledge to professional and academic contexts.

Throughout your Statistics major, you’ll connect with industry through industry-based projects, workplace visits, lectures from practising professionals and work placements. These opportunities will provide you with real-world experience, grow your network and enhance your employability. Combine your statistics major with a major in mathematics to undertake work integrated learning projects (capstone experience) working on a real-life industry problem with engagement and feedback from industry professionals. In these projects, you’ll characterise, analyse and solve a range of problems using your new knowledge and skills.
