Plan Outline

This specialisation is no longer offered to commencing students.

The Business Economics and Statistics specialisation combines the study of economics and statistics and provides the student with a broad understanding of the commercial environment and the practical ability to analyse business and economic data.

A postgraduate degree specialising in Business Economics and Statistics can lead to a career in business, government, teaching and research. Indeed, all careers involve aspects of management; decision making, data analysis and problem solving all which are crucial components of a business statistics and economics discipline.
