† Students under the B.Sc. and B.Sc.(Hons.) programmes are required to fulfill 8 MCs of faculty requirements from any two of the four subject groups: Chemical Sciences, Life Sciences, Physical Sciences or Multidisciplinary & Interdisciplinary Sciences;

But not from the following groups: Computing Sciences or Mathematical & Statistical Sciences.

This is because faculty requirements of 4 MCs and 8 MCs (required for the B.Sc. and B.Sc.(Hons.) programme, respectively) are automatically fulfilled through the reading of CS/IT/CZ/MA modules within the major.

Double Major in Statistics & Economics

The disciplines of Statistics and Economics are closely related. On one hand, statistical procedures play a key role in describing and forecasting economic behaviour and testing economic theories of that behaviour. On the other hand, economics provides a variety of problems and cases to help in the understanding of statistics.

The Department of Statistics and Applied Probability at the Faculty of Science (FoS) and the Department of Economics at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) have thus come together to jointly promote the Double Major in Statistics and Economics, within the Double Major Programme framework of NUS: http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/edu/UG/spugp_double_major.html

Application Procedure

Intake

Each department will call for applications in June every year, which will only be opened to its own students beginning their second year in August of the same year.

To apply for this double major, applicants must satisfy the following conditions:
1. Obtained a CAP of at least 3.50 at the end of the first year of study in NUS; and
2. Passed four qualifying modules in the first year; and
3. Achieved a group average point (GAP) of at least 3.50 for the qualifying modules.

Schedule

Schedule for 2009/10 admission exercise
Application deadline : Friday, 5 June 2009 (5pm)
Interview : to be announced
Result of application : to be announced

Application form

Qualifying Modules

For FoS students who are reading primary major in Statistics and applying to read second major in Economics:
• MA1101R Linear Algebra I
• ST1131 Introduction to Statistics
• ST2131/MA2216 Probability
• EC1301 Principles of Economics

For FASS students who are reading primary major in Economics and applying to read second major in Statistics:
• MA1101R Linear Algebra I
• MA1102R Calculus
• EC2101 Microeconomics I
• EC2102 Macroeconomics I

Students admitted to read this double major will proceed to fulfil the respective second major requirements from semester 1 of their second year. FoS students should refer to the requirements for second major in EC while FASS students should refer to the requirements for second major in ST above.

Coordinator

The coordinator at the Department of Statistics and Applied Probability is Dr Chan Yiu Man.
