Programme Description
This programme is designed to provide students with a solid foundation in mathematical and statistical concepts with an aim towards developing logical thinking and analytical skills that are applicable to various career fields.
Special emphasis on applications in industrial and commercial areas is stressed, and students are well trained in the use of various computer software packages to solve real-life problems in management science, logistics, computer visualisation, computational finance, engineering design, actuarial science, clinical research, industrial applications, social science research and others.
Concentrations Offered
Students can graduate without any concentration or with one or two concentration(s) according to their interest and career goal.
Student Learning Experiences
The department would provide students with internship opportunities in the summer, and organize various recruitment talks. The objective is to enhance students’ competitiveness for future employment, and to build a channel through which they can reach their potential employers. Students will work in an organisation or a company as interns and complete work assignment that are primarily related to their major study.
The internship is credit bearing, and hence students earn academic credits after satisfactorily completing internship at an approved company or organisation. The Census & Statistics Department of the government, iMusicTech Ltd., Convoy Financial Services, and Maxim's have previously offered intern positions to our students.
Career Opportunities
Careers available to graduates include those in the fields of teaching, applications programming, banking, market research, statistical consultancy, commerce, finance, and government organisations.
