Jason West
Chief Statistician, Bureau of Meteorology
Master of Biostatistics, University of Sydney 2022
Bridging statistical theory with practical implementation of methods is the greatest strength of almost every unit in the Master of Bioststistics. I found the depth of content and formal treatment of fundamental theory underpinning statistics to be a difficult but very satisfying aspect of this course. Prior to the course I considered myself to be a competent statistician, working as a quant in financial trading. But this course greatly broadened my knowledge of statistics, particularly working with extremely small and extremely large data sets. The opportunity to engage with and learn from experts in the field really enhanced the experience. I am certainly much more competent in statistical methods now than I was before.
