About the School

At the School of Statistics, students not only gain knowledge of the field but more importantly understand the principles and importance of life-long learning. The programs; BS(Hons.) , ADP (Statistics), M. Phil in Statistics, are designed in a way that enable the students to think critically about applications of statistics in various fields and analyze various types of data and interpret the results effectively.

The curricula of this school is based on a solid foundation with balanced coverage of theory and practice and undergo frequent updates to keep the content advanced and updated. Moreover, we are committed to train our students to become Data Scientists and highly qualified professionals who are hardworking, responsible, and good team players, with the skills and capabilities to contribute to the development of local and regional societies, and to be able to survive in the increasingly competitive global market.
