Its foundation is the mathematics of variability and it encompasses the science of designing quantitative research studies and other data collections, managing and analysing data, and interpreting the results. Biostatisticians play essential roles in designing studies, using statistics to analyse data and creating methods to solve research problems. The Graduate Certificate of Biostatistics program provides a sound mathematically-based introduction to biostatistical methods, with a strong emphasis on applications in health and medical research. It equips graduates with basic knowledge of proper scientific analysis and evaluation of healthrelated evidence.Read More
