The Bachelor’s Program in Statistics enables students to apply the knowledge and statistical thinking skills they have acquired in the field of statistics to develop expertise in disciplines—and interdisciplinary fields—thereby cultivating statisticians, data scientists, researchers, and scientists capable of utilizing and developing future technologies.
The program aims to develop innovative educational approaches based on interdisciplinary interaction and specialization, and to continuously strengthen university-industry collaborations; in line with its vision of strong international recognition, it promotes the exchange of international knowledge and experience.
Graduates of the Department of Statistics possess in-depth knowledge in areas such as probability theory, parametric and nonparametric statistical methods, multivariate analysis, experimental design, regression techniques, and data mining. Graduates have acquired advanced skills in data collection, organization, analysis, interpretation, and modeling; they are individuals capable of selecting appropriate methods for different types of data and evaluating results within scientific and societal contexts. In this regard, graduates are equipped with the competence to contribute to data-driven decision-making processes in many fields, including health, social sciences, economics, finance, engineering, biology, education, public administration, and technology.
Graduates of the Department of Statistics can also pursue academic careers by continuing their education in master’s and doctoral programs in statistics or related fields; they can take on active roles in projects conducted by universities, research institutes, and national and international organizations.
In addition to the high-quality field-specific education they have received,
