BA / B.Sc. - Dual Specialization - Applied Statistics (3+1 years)

DETAILS

The School of Liberal Studies (SoLS) offers one-of-a-kind transdisciplinary learning and field-based training in disciplines across the humanities, social sciences, and mathematics.

SoLS offers the following Four-year undergraduate programmes (FYUP) as options for dual majors leading to a BA/BSc research honours degree in Liberal Studies:

  1. Applied Mathematics
  2. Applied Statistics
  3. Economics with Data Science
  4. History
  5. Literature
  6. Political Science
  7. Psychology and Behaviour
  8. Sociology

Example: A BSc in Liberal Studies with a double major in Psychology and Behaviour, and Economics with Data Science, could be beneficial not just for those keen on pursuing an MBA in HR or Finance, but also for those interested in financial markets and human behaviour. A BSc. in Liberal Studies, with a major in Economics Data Science, and History, could become a joint major programme geared towards understanding the evolving nature of societies and economic systems and applying their knowledge and training in policy paradigms. Similarly, B.Sc. in Liberal Studies, with a major in Psychology and Behaviour, and Political Science, could help unravel demographic and social changes influencing individual behaviour. The possibilities are endless.

Applied Statistics

The BA/B.Sc. in Applied Statistics programme is designed to develop expertise in various areas of mathematics and statistics. In the Applied Statistics programme, the student will be well-prepared for industry and research. Through courses like Programming in Python Financial Mathematics, Control Theory, Sample Surveys and Design of Experiments, Statistical Inference and Decision Theory, Cryptography, and Stochastic Models, the students will be well prepared for the industry. Through courses like Representation Theory, Number Theory, Dynamical Systems, and Stochastic Processes, the students will be well prepared for research.
