During the academic year the Department offers three types of study-units.

1. B.Sc. Hons Study-units

• 1st Year, 2nd Year, 3rd Year and 4th Year study-units forming part of the Statistics & OR programme of studies within the B.Sc. Hons.

2. M.Sc. Study-units and dissertation as part of the Statistics & OR graduate programme of studies

3. Statistics & OR study-units to service the needs of students not reading Statistics & OR as a major subject

• a programme of Statistics study-units for students with 'O' Level Mathematics background
• a programme of Statistics & Operations Research study-units for students with 'A' Level Mathematics background needing these subjects at a fairly high level of sophistication

The study-units have been, and are being designed to incorporate a blend of:

• pedagogical issues
• an acceptable degree of mathematical and logical rigour
• continuous exposure to the practical dimension of the subjects
• responsiveness to current advances in the relevant subjects
• proficiency with reference to the computational aspect of the subjects.

Students following successfully these study-units should in the long run be in a position to:

• deal competently with the notions of uncertainty and randomness in a logically valid and mathematically sophisticated way
• know which branch of relevant theory should help in understanding practical problems involving probabilistic, statistical and operations research contexts
• be confident in the use of software commonly used in the numerical solution to problems in the relevant areas.
