Bachelor of Science / Bachelor of Laws Conjoint - Statistics

The University of Auckland

A BSc/LLB conjoint allows you to complete a BSc and LLB in less time, and with fewer points, than it would take to complete the two degrees separately. Scientists are exploring and addressing challenges confronting society in the 21st century, and today’s lawmakers are underpinning these discoveries with legislation on climate change, genetics, biotechnology and much more. As new developments continuously push the frontiers of what we know and understand about the world, there’s an increasing demand for legal professionals with expertise in science – and scientists who have the confidence to navigate the complex legal processes associated with their research. Once you become a student at the University, you can get help with planning and developing your career from Career Development and Employability Services.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.
