Planning your Statistics Degree

The following chart shows the availability of papers in Statistics, Mathematics and Computer Science with the prerequisites and recommended papers shown. This will assist you to plan your order of study of papers.

Statistics major requirements differ a little for BSc, BInfSc and BA degrees so students need to check the regulations for their degree.

Students need to do one of the 100 level statistics papers and 160.101. then 161.200, 161.220 and 160.240. Do any five from 161.320, 161.321, 161.322, 161.323, 161.324, 161.325 and 161.342.
