Explore the wonder of science: As a Bachelor of Science (BSc) student at Victoria, you’ll absorb knowledge, observe phenomena, experiment with ideas, and maybe even be part of making new discoveries. With a strong practical focus, a BSc will take you far beyond the lecture theatre. Apply your curiosity to the many laboratories, field trips, and summer scholar opportunities offered within this degree.

Learn to collect, analyse and interpret data. Statistics is a mathematical tool to help us understand today's information-rich world and statisticians work in many different industries - from the financial world to marketing campaigns to government policy.

At Victoria University of Wellington you'll study both theory and practice and get the knowledge and skills you need to use statistics in the workplace. You're likely to focus on one of three different pathways - Mathematical Statistics, Applied Statistics, or Data Science.
