Graduate Diploma in Applied Statistics

The Graduate Diploma in Applied Statistics (GradDipApplStat) is a great stepping stone if you have a qualification in another area, but wish to learn more about statistics. Or you wish to progress to study a statistics degree.

This qualification will give you an understanding and skills in the application of statistical methods, rather than an understanding of the underlying theory.

This qualification, with further study, can help you move into a career in statistics. Or it can help assist you to move up the hierarchy of your current career. 'Big Data' has opened up a huge range of career opportunities for those who are talented in working with figures. Statistics skills can be applied in almost any industry.

Some key industries include:

• business: economics, engineering, marketing, computer science, data mining, business analytics
• physical sciences: astronomy, chemistry, physics
• health and medicine: genetics, clinical trials, epidemiology, pharmacology
• government: census, law, national defence
• environment: agriculture, ecology, forestry, animal populations.

The extra quantitative skills that you get from the statistics qualification can set you apart from other graduates when applying for jobs.
