Admission is limited and competitive.
To be considered for admission to the Master of Applied Statistics programme, an applicant shall normally hold at least a high second class Honours degree or its equivalent, both in achievement and depth of study, from an institution recognized by the Senate. If necessary, an applicant may be required to demonstrate a satisfactory knowledge of the above courses in an examination administered by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. Applicants who do not meet these requirements should consult the Department of Mathematics and Statistics about a programme of further undergraduate courses. Such a programme is intended to provide the candidate with an adequate statistical background. Such courses may not be used to fulfill the programme course requirements of the Master of Applied Statistics degree.
