School of Mathematics and Statistics

The School of Mathematics and Statistics at Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha | University of Canterbury explores the theories, methods, and analytical tools that help us understand patterns, solve complex problems, and make informed decisions in an increasingly data-driven world.

 

Our programmes combine mathematical reasoning, statistical analysis, and research-led teaching, equipping students with the skills to address challenges across diverse fields including business, finance, biology, health, engineering, technology, and the physical sciences. Students develop strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities that are highly valued across a wide range of professions.

 

We undertake impactful research that advances both theoretical and applied mathematics and statistics, developing new techniques, models, and insights that contribute to scientific discovery, technological innovation, and evidence-based decision-making. Our work supports progress across disciplines while driving new understanding of the mathematical foundations that underpin them.
