Hong Kong Statistical Society Examination

  • Pursuing Qualifications Leading to the Statistician Profession

    The Hong Kong Statistical Society (HKSS) Examination is a recommended avenue for those pursuing qualifications at various levels of the statistical profession. It is organised by the HKSS, which is a professional society founded in 1977.

    The HKSS aims at promoting the development of statistics by providing a medium for advancing knowledge and enhancing appreciation of the theory and application of statistics.

    The qualifications conferred by the HKSS are recognised as of equivalent standard to the same qualifications conferred by the UK Royal Statistical Society (RSS). The qualifications awarded by the HKSS have also been accepted by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government for appointment to entry ranks of government statistical grades. Holders of the graduate diploma are eligible to apply for the professional qualification of Graduate Statistician.
