Good health care decisions depend on good data. But there’s a crucial shortage of people with the right skills to make sense of statistical information. Students can step into that gap with a Biostatistics degree from the University of Waterloo — the only one of its kind in Canada.
In this program, students will take the same core courses as Statistics students, but with the addition of specialized upper-year courses designed specifically for Biostatistics students. In addition to math courses, they will take courses in health studies, including health policy, health informatics, and management. Students will also get the chance to get paid work experience through co-op.
Students will learn how to design clinical experiments, analyze health data, and interpret results, and gradate ready to help create advances in diagnostics, medical technology, and treatments.
