With a view to serving the national Big Data Strategy and promoting the construction of Double First-Class disciplines, Nankai University re-organized the Department of Statistics, School of Mathematical Science and founded the Institute of Statistics in 2013. In May, 2018, Nankai University established the School of Statistics and Data Science. 

The Statistics Discipline at Nankai University can be dated back to the 1950s when Professor Zikun Wang (member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences) and Professor Guoding Hu first founded the Probability and Statistics Discipline. In 1981, the Probability and Statistics Discipline became one of the first doctoral programs in China, and stayed as a national key second-tier discipline in the China Discipline Ranking in 1988, 2002 and 2007. In 2011, as the Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council re-defined Statistics as a first-tier discipline, we were also among the first doctoral programs in Statistics, and ranked fourth nationwide in the 2012 China Discipline Ranking. In 2017, we were selected as a national “Double First-Class” construction discipline and ranked third in the Fourth China Discipline Ranking. In 2019, our undergraduate program in statistics entered the national First-Class Undergraduate Program Construction Project. In 2022, we stay as a national “Double First-Class” construction discipline.

Adhering to the philosophy of “Discipline Development, Talent Cultivation and Integration”, the School focuses on statistical theories and methods to stimulate the development of data science. Based on Statistics, the School also conducts in-depth cross-disciplinary cooperation, so as to enhance our influence and better serve the society.

We are now enrolling and training students in the following programs:
