Alumni Testimonials
Studying in the Department of Statistics at Universitas Syiah Kuala has given me so many valuable lessons. The field of statistics is incredibly broad, and its applications are essential in almost every area. The lecturers are truly inspiring and amazing—though sometimes, as students like to say, the exams don’t always match our expectations!
Tessa Prihartina Parhusip (2015)
Performance Evaluation Officer for Railway Services – Railway Engineering Center, Region II Western Sumatra
The Department of Statistics at Universitas Syiah Kuala was the only major I chose during the national university entrance selection (SNMPTN). Alhamdulillah, during my studies in this department, I had the opportunity to serve as a teaching assistant for several courses, participate in research laboratory activities (BIOSTAT and SPARG), become part of the HIMASTA committee, and join the National Statistics Olympiad. All of these experiences have greatly contributed to where I am today. I sincerely hope the Department of Statistics will continue to grow and produce outstanding future generations.

Excellent! The knowledge I gained is highly relevant to real life and extremely useful for problem-solving — from exploring data descriptions, making predictions about future events, to understanding the causality behind various phenomena. The lecturers also have unique expertise from diverse backgrounds, providing us with valuable and varied perspectives!
