Master of Applied Statistics

at Victoria University of Wellington

Statisticians are in demand. The huge variety and quantity of data generated today means more people are needed who can analyse it and make sense of it. Our Master of Applied Statistics (MAppStat) is designed to train you in a range of advanced techniques and to provide you with an appreciation of the variety of work undertaken by professional statisticians and consultants. It is made up of both coursework and practical training, allowing you to develop skills in research and consultancy. You’ll then apply these skills in a work placement in a relevant government department or business.
