"As a proud member of the first cohort of HKU’s Bachelor of Statistics in Statistical Decision Sciences, I am thrilled to be part of this pioneering programme. I chose it because I have always been fascinated by how data reveals insights for better decision-making.
The curriculum’s three professional cores (Decision Analytics, Risk Management, and Statistics) immediately appealed to me. My interest in the Financial Risk Manager (FRM) designation inspired me to major in Risk Management. The programme excels by connecting data analytics, optimisation, and behavioural sciences, transforming data into actionable strategies. With its strong focus on quantitative analysis, risk modelling, and entrepreneurship opportunities, it provides the perfect foundation for my career goals and my dream of starting my own business.
Beyond the excellent curriculum, the programme offers incredible resources. In my first two months, I have already benefited from the Corporate Mentorship Programme, a Workplace Etiquette Workshop, and the SAAS Career Fair, all easing my transition from academia to the professional world.
Finally, the supportive community here is remarkable. Professors, staff, and schoolmates are incredibly welcoming and helpful, creating a cohesive and collaborative environment. I look forward to paying this forward and welcoming new students in the coming academic year."
