Biostatistics is the application of statistical techniques to scientific research in health-related fields, including medicine and public health. Biostatisticians play essential roles in designing studies, analysing data and creating methods to solve research problems. Biostatistics can be used to show the most effective treatment, discover or isolate factors in the spread of diseases, or determine risk factors in genetic inheritance and mutation.
The Biostatistics program is offered at three award levels – graduate certificate, graduate diploma and master’s degree. It is only available part-time and fully online.
