Opportunities and innovations in postgraduate statistical education
Gillian Lancaster, Lancaster University
In 2005, Lancaster University was awarded a large HEFCE grant to fund a Centre of Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL). The Lancaster Postgraduate Statistics Centre has the core aim of promoting excellence in teaching statistics to postgraduates across a range of disciplines. For those wanting to continue in higher education, we have two MSc programmes and a PhD programme. For those in employment, wishing to improve their statistical skills, we hold short professional development courses, introductory workshops and masterclasses. This talk will highlight the work of the centre, including the range of training opportunities available for enhancing quantitative skills.
