UCL Centre for Applied Statistics Courses

UCL Centre for Applied Statistics Courses

The Centre for Applied Statistics Courses (CASC) was founded in 2008 by Emeritus Professor Angie Wade. The team currently comprises of Director and Associate Professor Dr Eirini Koutoumanou, Associate Professor and Head of CASC’s on-demand learning Dr Dean Langan, Deputy Director of CASC Dr Chibueze Ogbonnaya, and Associate Lecturers Dr Catalina Suarez-Rivera and Dr Manolis Bagkeris.

Based within UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health, we organise and teach a variety of excellent higher degree and short courses for non-statisticians. We provide short courses in research methods and statistical analyses for anyone wanting to interpret or undertake their own research. Everyone is welcome to attend, including those based outside UCL.

Extensive notes are provided for all courses, and teaching is interspersed with practical examples and activities throughout courses to ensure that everyone has understood the key principles. We strive to create a relatively informal learning atmosphere, where participants are not afraid to ask questions or voice any confusion.

No prior statistical knowledge is assumed for our introductory course (Introduction to Research Methods and Statistics), or our winter and summer schools, but all other courses assume that the basics are understood. Our courses usually take place on weekdays during typical office-hours. We also offer a diverse variety of self-paced courses which can be completed online and in your own time.
