BA/BS in Applied Statistics

This programme builds a grounding in mathematics and statistics, including the main ideas, theories and methods of statistics. Students also learn the background of an applied field such as finance or e-commerce and use computers to process and analyse data. Graduates collect, analyse, mine and forecast data in banks, securities and insurance firms, e-commerce and consultancy companies, or carry out statistical surveys and evaluation in government departments. Postgraduate study is another route. The course is a four-year full-time bachelor's programme at Hefei University (合肥大学) that leads to the Bachelor of Science degree. Students move through general education, core specialist courses and practical sessions before graduation and degree conferral. The undergraduate admissions office publishes the major introduction, the annual admission plan and the admission charter online, and candidates can check entry rules there before applying.
