HND Statistics

This diploma programme equips you with practical skills in collecting, analysing, and interpreting data, opening doors in business, government, and research. It is offered by the Faculty of Applied Sciences, which admits students from a General Science background.

What studying statistics covers

Statistics programmes like this one focus on how to gather, organise, and draw conclusions from data. You typically learn probability, sampling methods, statistical inference, and how to use software tools to work with real-world datasets. These skills are valuable in nearly every sector that relies on numbers to make decisions.

How hard it is to get a place

This is a less competitive programme than many other science-based diplomas, meaning that if you have the required WASSCE passes, you have a good chance of securing a place. The university sets specific subject-grade requirements, so check the latest entry criteria to confirm your results are eligible.

What graduates do afterwards

Most graduates of statistics programmes move into careers where data drives decisions, such as data analysis, market research, or statistical work in government agencies and private companies. Others pursue further study in fields like biostatistics, economics, or data science, or work toward actuarial qualifications.
