Two programmes of Department of Management Sciences received accreditation from the Royal Statistical Society of the United Kingdom

The BBA in Business Decision Analytics and MSc in Business & Data Analytics (Quantitative Analysis for Business) programmes offered by the Department of Management Sciences received accreditation from the Royal Statistical Society (RSS) in December. The accreditation decision arrived after a campus visit to CityU by three representatives from the RSS of the U.K.

This accreditation grants students of the accredited programmes the status of Graduate Statistician (RSS) upon completion of their studies at CityU. It also paves the way for them to pursue the professional qualification of Chartered Statistician (RSS).

RSS accreditation provides reassurance that the accredited programme offers high-quality teaching, learning and assessment, and meets the needs of students and employers for embarking on a career as a statistician and a data professional.
