Graduate School Career Development Framework

Statistics and modelling

If your research study employs quantitative or mixed methodologies, you would need to understand the nuts and bolts of statistics and modelling. The Graduate School works with different providers to provide a range of sessions covering descriptive and inferential statistics as well as modelling with esteemed providers such as ISSR and Student Services.
