About Statistics Department

The statistics programme is designed to enable students to acquire far-reaching knowledge in the management of data, including ways to gather, review, analyze, and draw conclusions from data. Throughout the course, students will gain experience in working as part of a team and learn how to use specialized computer software. Students are given intensive exposure to probability and introductory statistical methods, introducing the ideas of likelihood and regression modelling. Other statistics topics that will be covered include experimental design, inference, computational inference, sampling and databases. Statistics facilitates the decision-making process by quantifying the element of chance or uncertainty. The course is designed to develop concepts, from basic level to increasingly complex topics or skills. Graduates of the programme will acquire sufficient theoretical and practical knowledge to enhance the sustainability of better development and can compete favourably in any place. The Statistics programme is to provide a broad-based education in the use of a limited sample to make intelligent and accurate conclusions about a greater population. The use of tables, graphs, and charts will also play a vital role in presenting data being used to draw these conclusions.
