There is no closing date for applications, but you are advised to apply as early as possible. The year's study is divided into two semesters, each of twelve teaching weeks. You normally take four courses in each semester. The order of the courses may vary from year to year. In special circumstances you may be permitted to take other courses, e.g. Statistical Inference or Market Research Methods, in place of some of the above.
Assessment is by means of coursework, open-book or conventional examination.
Details of the courses are given in the Appendix. Each course is worth 15 Credit Accumulation and Transfer System points or 7.5 European Credit Transfer System points and therefore may be used as a component in some other programme of study. The programme is an intensive one. If you are offered a place on the Postgraduate Certificate in Statistics you may be issued with a pre-course reading list and accompanying exercises so that you may have an opportunity to prepare yourself. This is particularly important if you have been away from formal mathematical study for some time.
