Basic Statistics Stream
These modules are very popular so we repeat them several times each year. Each repeat of the module covers exactly the same material and is at the same level.
A pre-recorded series of mini-lectures will be available to students before the module starts, on the module's Moodle page. Please note - you will need to watch each lecture before the corresponding lab session.
To book a place on one of these modules, please make a request via the dedicated booking form.
