Key dates and structure of the programme.
Description
SwDS students will work on 2 statistical Consultancy-Style Research Projects during Block 5 (June–August). The first project will be completed in the first half of Block 5, and the second project will be completed in the second half of Block 5.
These projects are specifically designed in order for you to build up expert knowledge on statistical research and analysis, as well as computing, presentation and other essential communication skills. In particular, you will be given two distinct problems, translate them into statistical language, identify and develop associated statistical techniques for addressing the questions of interest, apply the techniques to real data and finally interpret and share your findings.
