A student admitted to a program for a coursework award must enrol in the courses, sequences of courses, or combinations of courses, that the University determines may be included in the program for the year in which the student is admitted to the program.
Please ensure that you follow the study requirements of the academic year you were admitted or, if accepted, will be admitted to the program.
A Bachelor of Laws (Honours) degree provides candidates with a law degree that opens doors to a diverse range of professional careers in Australia and around the world.
In addition to equipping you with an understanding of law and the contexts in which it operates, the LLB (Hons) places a significant emphasis on building your high-level research skills through opportunities to conduct independent legal research.
Through the LLB (Hons), you will graduate with an honours-degree, giving you additional advantages in establishing your career or providing a strong foundation for postgraduate study. The program satisfies the academic component to be admitted as a legal practitioner in Australia.
Statistics opens the door to understanding our world by exploring data and modelling uncertainty. As our capacity to collect data accelerates, the need for statistical expertise has never been greater. Every day, over 328.77 million terabytes of data are generated globally, and the total volume of data worldwide is expected to reach 181 zettabytes by 2026, more than doubling from 2022 levels. This explosion of information outpaces our ability to interpret it meaningfully without advanced quantitative tools.
More than a decade ago, Hal Varian, Chief Economist at Google, famously predicted that “the sexy job in the next ten years will be statisticians.” That foresight has proved correct—and remains relevant today. In a data-driven world, statistics is indispensable across every discipline that grapples with uncertainty and complexity, from climate science and public health to economics, artificial intelligence, and national security.
Statisticians are in high demand across diverse sectors, including global tech companies like Google, Meta, and Amazon, financial institutions, government agencies, pharmaceutical firms, healthcare providers, and academic institutions. Moreover, statisticians are at the forefront of addressing critical challenges such as climate change, pandemic preparedness, cybersecurity, and economic inequality.
By completing the Bachelor of Statistics at ANU, you’ll gain the analytical skills and modelling expertise to make sense of an increasingly complex world. You will be equipped to extract insights from data, make informed decisions, and help solve some of humanity’s most urgent problems—through the lens of statistical reasoning and data science.

Back to the Bachelor of Statistics page
The Bachelor of Statistics offers a rigorous program of training in the
theory and application of statistics. The program involves a core
mainstream statistical application and theory, supplemented by studies
in specialist streams. You may choose to specialise in any of a
number of areas including: Business Statistics, Econometrics, Financial
Statistics, Statistical Methodology, Applied Probability and
Psychological or Sociological Research Methods.
Single degree
In a Bachelor of Statistics single degree program you will study a total of 24 courses (144 units). Typically you will take 4 courses per semester (total of 24 units) as a full time student.
You will need to complete a minimum of 14 CBE courses (84 units) but will also get to choose up to 10 courses (60 units) from other ANU Colleges. You can try a
range of ANU courses of interest to you, potentially leading to one or
more majors and/or minors; the choice is yours.
Double degree
In a double degree program you will study a total of 14 core CBE courses (84 units) and 2 elective courses (12 units) towards the Bachelor of Statistics, and a further 16 or 24 courses (96 or 144 units) towards the second degree.
Typically, you will take 4 courses per semester (total of 24 units) as a full time student giving you a total of 32 or 40 courses (192 or 240 units) across your whole double degree. However, for each semester you are likely to take 2 courses from your Statistics degree and 2 courses from the other half of your double degree - totalling 4 courses a semester.
Enrolment Status
It is possible to enrol in fewer courses per semester but it will take you longer to finish your program and get your degree. If you are an international student you must always be enrolled full-time in 24 units each semester, or have an approved Reduced Study Load.
Important things to keep in mind when choosing your 1000-level courses
When you enrol for the first time you will study ‘1000-level’
courses. These courses have ‘1’ as the first number in their course
code, such as BUSN1001, and are typically referred to as 'First Year Courses'.
Please also note that:
- You need to enrol in courses for both First Semester and Second Semester.
- In your first year, you cannot study more than four courses (24 units) per semester, eight for the year.
- You
may take 1000-level courses later in your program. There is a maximum of 10 courses (60 units) of 1000-level courses in a single degree, and a maximum of 8 courses (48 units) of 1000-level courses in the CBE half of a double degree.
- You can change your enrolment in courses via self enrolment up until the Monday of Week 2.
Electives
You can use your electives to enrol in any courses that you like, provided you meet prerequisite requirements.
Remember that you can choose up to 10 ANU wide elective courses if you are undertaking the single Bachelor of Statistics degree. If you are in a double degree, you can choose 2 ANU wide elective courses.
