The
programme is designed to provide you with the specialist skills and
knowledge which are central to the conduct of professional statistical
work in government. The primary target audience comprises those
currently employed in the UK government statistical services or
equivalent organisations overseas.
Through part-time study, the
programme aims to strengthen and update your professional skills and
knowledge. Many of the skills taught on the programme, such as survey
methods and data analysis, are also in great demand by employers outside
government and the programme provides relevant training for
professional positions in a wide range of organisations conducting
large-scale statistical work.
