Profile of the Programme

The aim of the undergraduate program of Department of Statistics is to equip students with theoretical and practical knowledge of statistics and assets that are required by decision makers having analytical and critical thinking skills. The program also aims to graduate students; who are aware of their responsibilities toward to the community and to their work; who can follow the developments on science and technology, and can renew the knowledge of statistics with the consciousness about lifelong learning.
Department offers Probability and Statistics, Calculus, Computational tools, Mathematical statistics, Inference and Computer programming courses during first two years. For the third year, the courses are mostly elective except Regression analysis, Linear programming, Financial Mathematics and Statistical Design of Experiments. During their fourth year students have to succeed in Multivariate Analysis, Nonparametric statistical Methods, Categorical Data Analysis and Time series Analysis courses. Other courses are elective. Department also offers lateral branch program. Moreover, we have bilateral agreement with various universities under ERASMUS and FARAMI programs. There are 18 faculty and 15 research assistant in the department.
