B.Sc. in Statistics

The B.Sc. Statistics programme at C.K. Tedam University of Technology & Applied Sciences is offered through the School of Mathematical Sciences. It prepares you to collect, analyse, and interpret data to help organisations make decisions. This page explains what the course covers, who is eligible to apply, and the jobs you can do after graduation.

What statistics actually involves

Statistics is the science of collecting, organising, analysing, and interpreting numerical data. Programmes of this kind usually cover probability, statistical theory, sampling methods, and computer-based data analysis. You learn to design surveys and experiments, spot patterns in data, and communicate findings clearly. The skills you build – logical reasoning, problem solving, and comfort with numbers – are useful in almost any industry.

How hard is it to get a place?

Statistics at C.K. Tedam University is less competitive than many other natural and applied sciences programmes. That means your WASSCE grades do not need to be as high as for, say, medicine or engineering. The School of Mathematical Sciences admits students from Business, General Arts, General Science, Home Economics, and Technical Studies backgrounds, so it is open to a wide range of SHS students. You can check the university's admissions page to see whether your specific grades qualify.

What you can do with a statistics degree

Most graduates go into roles where data is the main raw material. Common job titles include data analyst, statistician, actuary, and market researcher. Others work in banks, insurance companies, government agencies, research institutes, or technology firms. The analytical skills from a statistics degree also provide a strong foundation for further study in data science, finance, or biometrics.
