If you are an Advanced Mathematics or Advanced Science student, then Honours is built into your program. For all other students, if you are keen on mathematics and statistics and have achieved good results in years 1 to 3, you should consider embarking on an Honours year.
For information about doing Honours in Statistics, see the Honours Page, opens in a new window.
Honours Coordinator - Statistics
If you have any questions about the Honours year, please don't hesitate to contact our Statistics Honours Coordinator via the details below.
