Level 3 Statistics

This course focuses on both statistical investigations and probability modelling, providing a balanced and powerful set of tools to understand, interpret, and evaluate the world using data. You will learn how to:

• Analyse patterns over time using time series
• Explore relationships between two variables using bivariate data techniques
• Make formal inferences about populations based on sample data
• Model chance and uncertainty using probability concepts and distributions

You’ll also develop critical thinking and communication skills, especially when interpreting real-world statistical information from media, research, and everyday life.

This course is ideal for students who enjoy real-world problem solving and evidence-based reasoning. It is a great fit for those interested in careers or tertiary study in:

• Psychology, education, and social sciences
• Business, economics, and marketing
• Data science, statistics, and artificial intelligence
• Environmental and political sciences
• Sport science and human performance research
• Health sciences and medicine (although 13MAC is recommended for biomed due to the physics content of the first-year course)

Students who enjoy interpreting data, exploring relationships, discussing their conclusions and evaluating uncertainty will find this course both practical and intellectually rewarding.
