The Master of Applied Science (MAppSc) is a 180-credit postgraduate program focused on coursework. While typically pursued by graduates, it also welcomes applicants with other relevant credentials. This interdisciplinary degree equips students with adaptable scientific skills valued across various sectors, offering specialization options in commercialization, workplace projects, or independent research.
Statisticians serve as data detectives, uncovering insights through collection, analysis, and interpretation of information to support research and decision-making. Their work thrives on collaboration, combining computational expertise, quantitative analysis, critical thinking, and communication skills. Otago's Statistics Group applies these methods to diverse fields including ecology, bioinformatics, biostatistics, quantitative genetics, and studies on disease transmission and geological risks.
