Bachelor of Health Sciences / Bachelor of Science Conjoint - Statistics

The University of Auckland

The BHSc/BSc allows you to develop your interest and knowledge about the government's role in determining health policy, alongside how wealth systems function, and how biological and social bases of ill-health exist in our communities. Coupled with your passion for Science, the duality of the degree can provide fertile ground to delve deeper into these issues from the perspective of statistics, psychology or even environmental science. Enhance your BHSc with complementary courses in Science to enrich your skills and learning experience, and become a key player in the health sector. We advise that the University of Auckland is not involved in the employment of graduates and can make no guarantee of post-qualification registration or employment in New Zealand or any other country. Statistics is the collection, analysis, presentation and organisation of data, allowing us to make predictions for the future based on previously gathered data. We live in an information age. Computers allow us to collect and store information in quantities that previously would not even have been dreamt of. However, raw, undigested data stored on computers is useless until people can start to make sense of it. Statistics is the human side of the computer revolution, an information science, the art and science of extracting meaning from seemingly incomprehensible data. Statistics applies to almost any field this is why some training in statistics can help make you more effective and more employable, regardless of the career direction you choose.
