The Statistics Department at Macquarie University is the largest academic statistics department in Australia. We offer majors in many areas of statistics including statistics and mathematics, statistics (operations research), statistics (information science) and actuarial studies and statistics.

We take particular pride in supporting students taking degrees in many disciplines, and other Divisions and Departments within Macquarie University.

Mathematics underpins modern society and since industry, business and government need mathematics to produce the innovations that will drive developments in the next decade, there are good employment prospects. These strong career opportunities for graduates in Mathematics and Statistics are reflected in their relatively high starting salaries, good employment prospects and low unemployment.

The staff in the Department are highly qualified and experienced, with particular expertise in  Mathematical and Computational Statistics, Biostatistics and Epidemiology and Bioinformatics.
