Graduate Certificate in Biostatistics

(i) Students with an undergraduate degree with majors in mathematics and statistics will be required to take: PUBH7600 Introduction to Epidemiology, and STAT7603 Data Management & Statistical Computing *, and #4 units from Parts A, B & C. (ii) Students with an undergraduate degree in a health field will be required to take: PUBH7600 Introduction to Epidermiology*, and STAT7601 Mathematical Background for Biostatistics*, and STAT7603 Data Management & Statistical Computing*, and #2 units from Part A. * Can be replaced from another course in Part A if this material has been covered previously.

Coursework sequencing: PUBH7600 and STAT7601, or previous mathematical courses covering calculus and matrix algegra, are pre-requisites for most other courses. Almost all other courses have pre-requisites that means that students need to take these requirements into account when they select courses. Some key courses such as PUBH7600, STAT7601, STAT7603 and STAT7614 are offered every semester. Other courses are offered annually in semester 1 or semester 2, except PUBH7115 and PUBH7616 which are offered in block mode in semester 3.
