When founded the Department of Statistical Science was the first university statistics department in the world; however, research and teaching have kept pace with modern concerns, including applications of statistics in science, medicine, industry, economics and finance. We offer a friendly and supportive atmosphere, where small-group teaching and personal attention are available for all students.
